Matrix Games Forums

When I play this game I put in an appropriate movie like "Band of Brothers" or "A Bridge too Far" or "Das Boot."

When I play Galatic Civilization II I watch "Babylon 5" or "Firefly."

When I play World of Warcraft I usually have Monty Python's "Holy Grail" going in the background.

Does anyone else try to kinda set the mood like that?

*Edit* I'm going to ask this same question in the GCII forums. [:)]

I doubt you are insane........though I've never put a movie on per se, I have played "The ride of the Valkyries" (as seen in the "Rakkasan {101st Air Assault Division} attack on the Vietcong village" scene from "Apocalypse Now" on occasion.........and other classical favorites (Beethoven's 5th and 9th go really well when contemplating what to do with Germany.) Those of us lucky enough to possess Churchill's speeches (I lost them when I lost my PC) can certainly enjoy the "Finest Hour" and other famous radio broadcasts when fighting the WA early after the fall of France.

Here is a realplayer link for a brief blurb from the "Finest Hour" speech

I still find it very stirring......

Shucks, Caeili, perhaps we are both insane...........?

When I play the scenario "Remember The Alamo" I like to put in the VHS tape of "Debby Does Dallas." [X(] [:D]

I didn't expect a reply from you in this thread Christian Brown. It's good to know that someone will reference the attack on the Vietcong village scene from "Apocalypse Now" to confirm my sanity. (Charley don't surf!) [:@]

Hmm, why would that be?

PS:

You can either surf, or fight, alright?!

I find Tora, Tora, Tora puts me in the mood for a good fight. Maybe that's why I don't fare so well as the allies.

I find for a game of this scope (WaW) the theme music to the BBC documentary series The World at War works best. [;)]

I love to listen Beethoven while playing AWD...
