music: yes or no?

Sometimes I listen; sometimes I don't. It just depends on whether we had something going beforehand, or my sweetie wants to put something on, or...whatever. With respect to my game, it's sometimes negatively affected because I end up synchroninzing all my turns to the rhythm of the music, heh. Or, I just become more interested in the music and don't really pay attention to my play, since music's my thang. Then again, there are some times when it can put me into a groove zone, and it helps. So...yeah, this post was kind of pointless on my part.

personally i like music because i really can get into the game then but then again this is all opinion so it doesn't matter at all really

honestly I find that music increases my ping and thus the amount of lag i recieve so i try to avoid it.

Maybe you should actually pay for your music instead of downloading it.

I don't usually listen to music while playing although I do find it can help. As the goferman said, it does seem to increase my ping so I tend to avoid it.
