Which songs make You better?

[Robee]

When I play a duel or any game I feel that some songs make me better in the game. Do You have too favourite songs on JJ2?
I like:
Children of Bodom - Everytime I die
Annihilator - Alison Hell

Listening to mp3's in JJ2 is disrespecting the level designer and the effort he put into choosing a track which fits best

But that's just my opinion.
<!-- "Everytime I die" suits jj2's gameplay fairly well // -->

[Unhit]

im hardly listening to mp3s, and if i do i find it rather distracting. however iced earth- ten thousand strong is pretty good to push you before a game

As much as I'd like to respect the level creator, a lot of custom level music has either been used to death already, gets annoying fast when looped for a while, or is simply not appropriate.

During serious games I often listen to demoscenish music (Man With No Alias O+) or either an electrohouse or 2 Many DJ's mix.

I would say, i am better if i am listening to very fast music.

[Torkell]

I remember playing Worms 2 with a friend one time, wherein the background music changed to one with a strong marching beat (Yesterday's Hero) just as I started my turn. He was more than a bit worried at what that music might inspire my worm to do.

[Fraesh]

Linkin Park, especially faint .

[Grytolle]

All SOAD songs..
All hide songs...
..opzij
uh... sometimes the music in the level

[DoubleGJ]

Back when I used to play in duels and clan matches I would listen to The Offspring or something equally fun-rocking, but nowadays I play Jazz2 multiplayer so rarely I rely on the in-game music. As for singleplayer, well, I believe it usually has more climatic and fitting tunes so I stick to those as well.

[n00b]

Altho I very rarely not play JJ2 without the originally intended music, when either A)The music choice makes my ears bleed or B)There is no music whatsoever, I tend to put on either some Spiralmouth or some Vox Lunch.

I don't think it makes play any better since I'm rarely in it to win it anyways.

[KRSplat]

Usually I listen to the music that came with the level, so I feel more immersed into the its experience. If I don't have the music (or if there is none) I generally listen to anything that is high-energy and aggressive, but not too dramatic so that it doesn't distract me. Or I just go without music.

[Odin]

Listening to mp3's in JJ2 is usually done because most maps are downloaded second-hand and people usually don't have the music to go with the map

Fixed.

[Raven aka StL]

I've never heard a single track of music in a custom level for jj2 that I'd listen to rather than mp3s.
Looping, simple and often themeless tracks of techno as. (with no lyrics) are just bs imo.

[cooba]

Looping, simple and often themeless tracks of technoHell yes! Down with themeless techno tracks like Dang or Beach!

[Bboy Type7]

I like music with break beats. Especially underground rap while playing jj2. It keeps me goin. Underground rap is so fresh.

[R3ptile]

Haha

[Erik]

I just press ctrl+a on XMPlay while browsing E:\Music\Chiptune-directory, press open, and play. With random on of course

[ThunderPX]

Hell yes! Down with themeless techno tracks like Dang or Beach!

oversimplification of statement paired with broken argument
</paraphrase>Anyway I usually just play my playlist, which has songs from pretty much every genre imaginable. I find that songs with slower tempos generally work better, though that's just my opinion and taste in music.

[Nonomu198]

I realy need to get some jj2playtime music

[n00b]

(with no lyrics)

I wasn't aware you were such a poetry fan.

[cooba]

oversimplification of statement paired with broken argumentIt's a broken argument if I point out that most jj2 tracks aren't "looping, simple and often themeless tracks of techno"?

your paraphrasing gets an F+ for effort

[Superslash2]

When I'm feeling bored, I'll either hum or play the theme song for Jazz Jackrabbit 1 (not 2). That almost always gets me going again and Tube Electric.

Other than music from the game, I usually listen to Mind Storm, Super Colossal, Borg or The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing - Joe Satriani.

Fast-Paced Instrumentals mostly.

There is more to music than lyrics.

[Raven aka StL]

That's correct, of course, I never said different.
But I've never heard a background music in a jj2 level that I would've liked more than most tracks in my playlist.

I was pretty sure St. Louis was referring to the tracks chosen for custom-made JJ2 levels.

beach - 133 uses<!>

[Stijn]

That leaves about 8400 levels that use another music file though.

If you disregard the official music, which falls in the category "used to death" for me, there are a lot of technoish tracks on top. Of course this is partly because that kind of music is a lot more suitable for tracking than more "melodic" pieces, but such a one-sided music selection does indeed get boring fast. While there are certainly good modules out there, a large part of those used often (Elwood's, for example) are cheesy, generic or simply not good... but then again, you might like such songs, after all music is a matter of taste.

[Unhit]

the music in fuctf01 is awesome

[R3ptile]

Negative Approach - Ready to Fight

[Nonomu198]

Stickout sometimes

[Raven aka StL]

Most songs by Muse, Deep Purple or Coldplay, at least btw.

[Valco]

For some reason 'The River' makes me feel agressive. I'm powerful when I'm agressive. })

'Stacy's Mom' distracts me, but I listen to it anyway for some reason. :|

And 'Feats Of Valor' which is actually Jazz2 specific music, helps me by providing me the confidence that I can still win.

[Krinya]

I'm very good if I listening Neve's Crossing (neve.s3m), I jump a lot, and I mashing space... :)

[priji]

fever is an awesome song
try songs also by miles davis and ray charles
