Hey Guys,

I'm quite new to gaming, well to be honest I had the original XBox but then stopped playing games for a while but you will be glad to know a month ago I bought an XBox 360 and I'm back into gaming again, my favourites being Skate, Pure and Tiger Woods 2009.

Anyway enough about me to my question, has any console or computer inspired you to buy a music track or album from the music playing in the background of the game ?

I have just bought The Funeral by Band of Horses, I had never heard of Band of Horses until I started playing Skate, I think it's a great tune.

iTunes Link : The Funeral - Band of Horses

THPS2 had a fanstastic sound track, RATM :heart:

Good Call!! The THPS2 soundtrack shaped my musical tastes entirely, it was where i first heard RATM - (title song was Guerrilla Radio) and i haven't looked back since. :D (Thinking about it i can only have been 9 at the time XD)

Aside from that some of the tunes in FFVII are still firmly lodged in my head but i wouldn't listen to them if not playing the game.

Video Games reintroduced me to classical and orchestral as a genre, which I've been enjoying ever since. I also listen to a lot of Video Game OSTs (most notably Zelda and Shadow of the Collosus). However, Video Games have never really introduced me to a particular band, with the exception of Tony Hawks Downhill Jam, which introduced me to Damone (which funnily enough, the only song of theirs I like is the song on THDJ :p).

Hi Guys,

It seems a few of you like the music from Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2, I'll have to check out some of the tracks.

I had some of the Tony Hawks Pro Skater games on the original XBox but they will probably not be played again now that Skate has arrived and also Skate 2 arriving early next year, which is looking totally cool !

Large - Keep Smiling ! :)

I really enjoyed the music in the first Flatout game - a bunch of good indie bands - Adrenaline, No Connection, LAB, and others. Other than that, only Driver: Parallel Lines has inspired me to go out and buy music (a few tracks - Blondie's One Way or Another, Kaiser Chief's Oh My God, The Strangler's Peaches, and a couple others) - the 70's era music in that game was just great.

I enjoyed the BF: Vietnam soundtrack, which got me into a phase of listening to rock from that period.

Exact same thing happened to me, I had never really paid any attention to those songs before that game. I also liked the main theme from Morrowind, Halo and some of the Hitman stuff

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
