I’m listening to Enya.
Or for something more modern...
"We Are All One" is an awesome song.
RofL man, that's the first time I saw that. Funny as hell. Thanks
Seriously though, I feel sorry for coders. It has to be the most "un-fun" job in the entire industry. It takes a special kind of dedicated person to handle doing nothing but coding all the time, even when it's something you love or For something you love, like a game. The most complicated things I've ever had to script were making items and spell scripts for UO back in the day. Compared to the languages used today and that have developed in the last 6 or 7 years what I know how to do isn't sh!t. In my opinion the industries coders need and deserve a lot more props then they get. They should get larger salaries too.
In almost every other aspect of creating a video game people get to use their creative sides or artistic talents. In coding, not so much. Granted there is a certain "art" to coding but it's nothing near the sense of creative freedom you get as a visual artist or a musician (except to the really rare individual). When writing any kind of code certain rules must be followed that often limit the coder and the coding its-self. It's up the coder to create a way around these limitations yet still within the confines of the code's limitations. They work long hours often far into the night, and no matter how creative anyone is, without them there wouldn't be a program. I have the deepest respect for what I consider the hardest working employees in the industry.
Still....that video was funny as hell!!! LoL
Dude, what ever gets you though the code..
If its Justin Beaver, good for you, I will make no comments
..
At lest untill 1.1 is up
Maybe listen to something that gets you into the fantasy mood... like Celtic music or Gregorian Chanting....
Oh, also try Era..

When it all gets to be too much I find a little classic Amorphis (Forgotten Sunrise, First Doom, Magic and Mayhem, Exile of the Sons of Uisuil) to really help.
I love Enya! I have very wide ranging taste in music, from classical to AC/DC - and Enya is WAY up there.
My favorite Enya songs -
Amarantine - mostly cuz of the very cool video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQU4DoE1eBg
Carribean Blue another awesome video too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl8iYAo90pE&feature=avmsc2
And probably my favorite Enya song of all time - Cursum Perficio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd_DuEU6Mvg&feature=related
Hey me to! I love all kinds of music. It's mind boggling when someone chooses to listen to only one genre. Why would they do that?
I'd also suggest love spirals downwards and most cowboy junkies songs/covers of songs.
Lightweights....

This is what's gonna be played during my funeral.
Ermmm...I don't know...she is a bit too old.
ENIGMA is much better for relaxing music.
Come on, great music to de-stress to is
(just incase I do not manage to get the embeded to work, here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW6M8D41ZWU&videos=SNdscuAtOK0 )
You just cant help smile while listening (or if you actually watch the video, you cant help yourself from laughing).
The Junkies did a show in our town last winter, they did an awesome job!
Try Enigma instead. My fav for calm and good background music for complex tasks while I program.
(as noted by psychoravin)
Don't want some Enya sovereign giving out quests to ignorant parties of would-be champions..wait, actually that would be quite amusing.
My Enya, my Enya! My dearest Enya!Thanks for the music that you gave me everyday. Thanks for the company that you offer me all the time. Thank you because you exist.
Admire the Queen of the Black Islands, the Lady of the Four Seasons, the Empress of Time, the Sovereign of Winter, the Lady of Lothlorien, to Enya. Rejoice, Eithne, because your name is written in Heaven, because you sang the wonders of God.
His work is immortal. Enya never die out completely because she has managed to raise a monument more enduring than bronze.
PS: here is my collection of Enya's albums:
(The only music I listen)
Honestly I've never seen the chick up close, not even in a picture, so I don't really know. Brad's old too though so it probably wouldn't matter much...LoL. (J/K Brad ) I doubt his wife would be too enthused about the idea though. He'd probably end up having to sleep at the office for a while...lol.
My personal recommendation for calming music would be pretty much anything from positively dark, especially their songs goodnight and so far away which you can easily and quickly find on youtube.
Enya be win.
Now, if you've been playing Facebook games, I'd be afraid.
Me too. If Brad enjoyed Facebook games though I'd start taking bets on the Elemental AI being no more difficult then a tough game of Tic-Tac-Toe...LoL
In tic-tac-toe with opponent that has IQ of 50 you cannot win against.
Or in other words its really hard to win.... SO that would mean AI would be unbeatable and that would be a big jump in AI intelligence
The idea is that facebook games are overly simple and 1-dimensional. Not to mention that half of them are just ways to get your credit card number. (or at least the money therein).
They are just "click button to win" or "give me credit card to reach next level."
Facebook and the 'games' on it need to be carpet bombed and the people that use it forcibly introduced to real games like World of Warcraft...
