So a couple months ago I was on a Bioshock tip where I played all the games, read the prequel novel, then proceeded to replay the first game again for context. Now I've started reading Halo: Fall of Reach for some comparisons(or not) to the show I just finished and have been posting about. During my time reading the Bioshock prequel novel I found some great youtube videos of Bioshock music I could let run in the background while I read. I gotta say, it really helped set the mood. Now I'm doing this with the Halo novel and having an equally satisfying time.
Anyone else do this and find it rather enjoyable?
*I'll be posting my thoughts about Fall of Reach at some point in the Halo Impressions thread I've been regularly updating the last several weeks. I'm looking forward(unto dawn--I'll see myself out) to it.
EDIT: I have also done this with video games. I was super into the ship combat in AC Black Flag and found a 15 minute loop of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, while on the beers one night, and what a blast that was.
