I'm playing Torchlight right now, and I know the story's boring, so I'm listening to that 5 hour Oblivion retrospective that one guy did. I also listen to Internet Box once in a while when I'm playing Borderlands 2 or something.
I listen to Common Filth Radio while I play.
funny you mention torchlight to be the game you play while listening to podcasts, i listened to the full playlist of the mega64 podcasts while playing torchlight 2
it was pretty comfy, the game itself is pretty brainless, but it's perfect for listening to stuff in the background
I only listen to podcasts, videos, audiobooks while playing games. I never play with in game audio. Then again I only play games like PoE, Eu4, Darkest Dungeon shit so the in game sound is useless anyway.
nah I watch movies while playing games. Watched Baby Driver while playing GTA 5. Shit was intense, I literally felt like the baby driver
If it's a game that I've played so much I know all of the soundtrack + voice lines by now, or if I'm just grinding in some familiar place, then yeah, I like a podcast to go along with it.
That's when Giant Bomb delivers.
