I don't play with music on. I get people to repeat what they say over voice chat because of that.

I liked the music though, if I had something to play, it would come like 100th (sorry, lots of bigger bands out there)

TF2 is the first FPS I don't listen to music with.

All-talk is just so entertaining, who needs music?

With other FPS games though, it varies from happy hardcore candyraver music to my 1.2gb of Chopin.

I like screaming when done in the right amounts and without getting all whiny.  Still haven't heard it, my computron is broke and I'm using mostly soundless computers.  But my thoughts on screaming is it's like flowery prose in your writing, in the proper amounts it's delicious and really helps the narrative and lets you get more into it.  Too much and it's like oh god fuck you Dickens.

In short don't be like Dickens (unless you are paid per scream).

Fuck Dickens.  I still remember being forced to read Great Expectations in 9th grade.  God it was terrible.

Glad to see my metaphor holds up so well.  Also oddly enough the book I'm reading now is a bit like Great Expectations but if it was cyber-punk and interesting (Diamond Age).

No music for me either, it only distracts me/annoys me.

Interesting, I never clocked any parallels when I read The Diamond Age. I might watch Great Expectations tonight and then go back and have another read through.

Well assuming Nell is Pip and just cutting out that part of Diamond Age for comparison they have a lot in common.  Hackworth is like the criminal who is the true benefactor.  Although I'm only a bit over halfway through and the message of the book seems to be quite different than Great Expectations it definately seems inspired by the classic "give a poor kid a leg up and see what he/she makes of it" kind of story that, to me, brings to mind Great Expectations.

Usually with games I don't like to listen to music, but for TF2 and SupCom I listen to http://www.di.fm while I play ;D

I decided it wasn't worth it's own thread but I finished Diamond Age and while the book as a whole rocked the ending fucking blew.  I mean not as bad as some endings, there was a degree of closure.  But after all the depth leading up to the conclusion it was like the summary of an ending and even though the story was told from like 4 different perspectives only one persons story got a degree of finality.  Even then it was small.

I hope there is a sequel, the would only make sense to me if it was setting up for a sequel.

I'm guessing you haven't read any other of Stephenson's works. He has a real habit of cramming more narrative into the final dozen pages than the rest of the book.

I read cryptonomicon and snowcrash.  I was overall satisfied with both endings but I can see what you are saying.  Also I couldn't get through his baroque cycle, it was just bogged down with too much crap, although all the bits of science and trivia really interested me in the first book.  The second one was murder though.
