Paul from EGMR writes: "I was going through my YouTube history the other day and I discovered something rather terrifying, I am exceptionally fond of video game music. Now don't get me wrong, this isn't in any way a bad thing. It's just quite weird that, out of all the things I could be watching on YouTube, I choose to mostly listen to the soundtracks from games I have played or are planning to play. As I'm sitting typing this up, I'm currently listening to the Metal Gear Rising OST which is my go-to work music, but more on that later. So this raises the question of what exactly drives someone to do this? I mean surely it would be better to appreciate these sounds in their 'natural habitat'?"
