I’ve mentioned before that I really like playing my PS3 when the weather starts warming up. Just something about playing the system’s games over the Summer that sticks with me for nostalgic reasons; the system is a decade old, which makes it eligible for nostalgia. And I also mentioned how I like to sit back and chill out with the few games that support custom soundtracks. Stuff like Burnout and Gran Turismo. I want to talk about this for a moment.
I got two games around roughly the same time, Killzone 2 and one of the WWE games. I specifically bought them for no other reason than they had support for custom soundtracks. And also because I wanted another multiplayer shooter on PS3 that wasn’t Metal Gear Online, and making goofy characters in a wrestling game can be fun for a little while. It turned out to be the only good those games had because they were fucking terrible otherwise. I do not own either of them anymore. But when I did have them, I threw a bunch of random songs from my iPod onto my system, which I have changed very little in the last ten years. I would add Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” after buying (and regretting) Space Invaders Infinity Gene, and I wanted to make reference to that one Futurama episode.
Anyways, the point of this post: a zip folder of all the songs I put on my PS3. These were songs I thought be nice to either shoot people in a game with terrible controls, or walk to the ring to. Now, I find them nice to drive around to in my racing games.
