Oolite Bulletins

A lot of music, mainly Heavy Metal and Rock. Sometimes I listen Homeworld Background Music and Dawn of War BGM.

In Space nobody can hear you scream, and they can't hear backshelf vibrating to Goldie either so I generally don't bother.

If I did, I'd probably listen to Floyd or some new-age shhhh.. enanigans (Maybe Tubular Bells?).

I was thinking the other day how there are some tracks that are just made for listening in the car while on a long drive. There must be equivalents for those long hauls from WitchSpace beacon to Space Station. Space seems a little lonelier though so something a little more melancholy would be required one would think, to capture the tone.

Well, if you're looking for 'appropriate' stuff to listen to, this comes to mind.

I actually stopped listening to music while playing Oolite as the sound of my laser hitting the hull of a far away enemy is the only cue I get on whether I hit or miss, and I want to be sure I do hit when firing a full salvo

I'm now going to start listening to Justin Bieber while playing... seriously!

This screams Oolite, it's so amazingly epic!

I've only got one question: Who is this Justin Bieber person?
I've seen the name occasionally, usually preceded by the word 'hate', but that's just about all I know.

Er... yeah, you need to follow the link dude. I'm not really a Justin Beaver fan (seriously for real this time). I find Canadian*, spotty, teenage yoofs singing about love, hard to take seriously.

The version slowed down by a factor of 8 though is utterly epic... Gustav Holst would be proud.

*No offense to Canadians intended

I've seen quite a few people mention Pink Floyd... which is fair enough, because they were a Space Rock band once.

What else?

Mostly i listen to my girlfriend saying 'are you playing that damned game again?"

We reached a compromise, when shes watching programs on tv that i hate (soaps, x-factor etc) i play oolite

Britney Spears and anything by Jedward...........

O rly?


No, Holst mostly.

My whole CD collection, which ranges from Bach to Zappa… but I do love fighting my way through anarchy systems to the sound of Dogs, by Pink Floyd… seventeen minutes of mean, nasty, beautiful music.

That's Dogs from Animals, right? Rather than Dogs of War from MLoR? If it's the latter then I'm going to have to hunt you down like a dog and get myself one step closer to elite.

Yeah, Dogs from Animals... not their best album, but at times, it's brilliant.
