literally logging in after like three years to just say that playing mk8 while high but putting headphones in and listening to your own music is absolutely the best. mixture of mindless colorful and fun game/being able to vibe to music - simply perfect.

Many years ago  a 19 year old me was sharing a house with some guys one who was a 30 year old French hippie whose job was working as a dungeon master teaching D&D  at the local adult education college, he was from Le man and he grew up watching the 24 hr race since his front yard was trackside, so while I was gaming before I met him it was his enthusiasm for racing games and rpgs that turned me into the gamer I am today since he set up an old Amiga computer with a CD player in the downstairs lounge.

So late one night I started playing Alien Syndrome and after a couple of goes didn't get off the first stage, so I smoked some fine hash and decided I needed some background music and the Pink Floyd album wish you were here happened to be in the player, since it was late I put on the headphones and a wonderful thing happened I found myself shooting and moving around in time to the music and with the title track set on repeat I felt like I was one with the music and game it was a beautiful experience, I tried the game without the music later on but it wasn't the same, for some reason the music seemed to guide me through the game as for the hash that was more like  the cream on top being the relaxer/mood setter part.
