I sometimes listen to video game soundtracks while I work. Usually older stuff in my case: Legacy of the Wizard (NES), Shadowgate (NES), Final Fantasy IV/VI (SNES), etc. I don't have a particularly interesting story to share. The music is familiar and brings back good memories; it is energizing; and it is easy to listen to. In the original game setting, the music would play in the background and hype you up for whatever task you were trying to accomplish. Nowadays, instead of attempting to defeat the Warlock Lord, I'm trying to finish a section of a research paper. Both tasks, at least in my view, call for the same mood.
