I've been listening to Hotline Miami as well. Otherwise its Wilco, The Black Keys, Arcade Fire, or something random like Kanye.

Cheers folks... I have a somewhat eclectic taste in music but I've found I work best with some ska or reggae on. It's hard for me to stay grumpy or overly stressed if I've got something like Streetlight Manifesto, BtMI! or The Skints playing...

Lately? An embarrassing amount of Marina and the Diamonds. Usually its either Metric, The Naked and Famous, The Kills, or Tegan and Sara. Depends on how awake I need to feel I suppose.

Game soundtracks, and lately, a lot of chiptunes and electronica. Frozen Synapse Soundtrack is great to code to, as is Dustforce, Bittrip, Scott Pilgrim / Anamanaguchi, etc.

Lots and lots of Lone, instrumental hiphop like Bugseed/DJ Spinna etc. Plus what ever latest electronica mixtape gets put up on soundcloud.

Day to day is 90% EDM podcasts (Above and Beyond/Dada Life/Gareth Emery/Morgan Page/ASoT/Tiesto) and lots of airy indie stuff with female vocals (The xx/Metric/Friendly Fires/Phantogram/Austra/Lykke Li/Emily Haines/etc). Some things deserve special occasion music though: art assignment invariably ends up on Viking metal or angry stuff like the Murder City Devils, and treasure tables are almost always Sinatra and Cash. I also have a rap playlist for when I need a little juice in the system. Hmm, I listen to more music than I thought. I guess living with your nose in Excel all day will do that to you.

I just recently started to listen to podcasts. Penn's Sunday school on Mondays and Adama Carolla's the rest of the week, but that one is very hit or miss for me. For music I usually I have the trip-hop on or some indy band that I found on lastFM. Edit: Grammar. Chernabog fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Oct 30, 2012 |

About 2-3 hours of QI a day recently. Worked my way from series A and now I'm on to series H. Current series is J and I'm running out of Stephen Fry goodness.  Here's a huge playlist if anybody wants in on this delightfully English eccentricity. Warning: QI siren may drive workmates mad  If I'm feeling like listening to some economics and politics I'll give Marxist Economist R. D.

Jeremy Seoule produces some of the most timeless stuff (to me) including neverwinter nights, total annihilation and skyrim just to name a few. Sometimes I'll listen to the sims 2/3 discography because :3 Even though I do and have listened to Anamanaguchi in the past, sometimes i think they're just noise when I'm listening and it's hard to not feel a bit stressed by that sort of aural input! e: ^ Thanks Monster !

Game soundtracks all the way. Uplink's soundtrack is absolutely amazing when you're coding late at night. Also, happy birthday Fishbus! Thanks for all the cp_steel memories

I stopped listening to the Rhythm Heaven soundtracks because that stuff does the opposite of helping me concentrate

Any time I'm writing briefs, C&D letters, or anything to do with an adversarial action, my playlist is typically cycling through NOFX, Bad Religion, The Ataris, etc. For contracts, I'll typically do Rolling Stones, Skynyrd, Stevie Ray, and such. For other administrative stuff it's usually hip-hop or streams from BBC Radio One.

Good luck! I was in a similar situation last year, but I was really lucky in that I managed to land a programming job right out of college. What position are you going for? I might write up a short blob about My Journey, though I'm not sure if it'd help or not.

When I'm working on repetitive stuff, it's all podcasts, usually Comedy Bang Bang, Doug Loves Movies, Nerdist, or Tony Kornheiser's radio show. When I have to really concentrate, though, it's my entire collection on shuffle. The variety keeps me from getting in ruts. Unrelated thought: does touching a Cintiq make you forget how asset control works? That's my best theory so far.

I don't really post or read it much, but it's invite only so I got a friend to get me in. It's probably worth having an account as you can get the inside scoop on companies and stuff.

FreakyZoid posted:Imagine a group of around 20 horribly jaded unfunny veteran (used not in a positive "lots of experience" kind of way, but "have been around a long time and think they know it all") developers endlessly circling around the same topics and you have Chaos Engine. The signal/noise ratio is insanely low, and any interesting or new viewpoints are quickly shouted down by the regulars trying to prove a point or something. I've never seen the regulars shout down "interesting or new" viewpoints or ideas, ever*. But if you've got something new and interesting, you had better be prepared to defend it because "lots of experience" means highly developed bullshit detectors. The regulars have a pretty healthy level of disagreement between them that rarely devolves into anything personal or even bleeds into other topics, so it's not that they think they know it all, they're just aggressive and have a lot of experience to back them up. Otherwise, I'm sorry we're too jaded and unfunny for you. *with respect to gamedev topics.

You call it a highly developed bullshit detector, I call it posting like a shouty oval office. Tomato / tomato. I'll vouch for anyone who wants to join though, you might get more out of it than I ever did.

Adraeus posted:...because another exclusive club is just what the game industry needs? People can speak their mind in that environment, within reason, and not have to worry about it ending up on Kotaku out of context, getting them fired. Still, I've never seen anyone break an NDA or actually divulge anything that could legitimately be a trade secret.

Except that time people got fired from Codemasters or wherever it was for bad mouthing the company and being ratted out by another user. "No management" is vague and they don't enforce it, so there are all levels of management there. Similarly accounts don't get switched off when people leave the industry. I like the idea of an "industry only" forum, though.
