I appear to be under some sort of voodoo curse currently, so I don't have the time, energy, or focus to actually set up anything special [eg, giveaways] within the thread itself at this moment. Instead, you'll have three chances at giveaways:

  1. Comment in this thread. Get whitelisted for a batch of giveaways.
  2. Post an invite-only giveaway [any restrictions] in this thread (y'know, to make up for the ones I didn't get a chance to post). Get whitelisted for a second batch of giveaways.
  3. Post a screenshot of you interacting constructively with the Stream [eg, such as by asking a reasonable question and receiving a reply]. Get whitelisted for a third batch of giveaways.
    [As an alternative option (for those disinclined towards Twitch or this particular stream), if you create a subtopic (related to game composers) within this thread and it gets enough of an engaged response from other posters, that will also qualify you.]

2 & 3 will naturally qualify you for 1 as well, you don't need to make an additional comment for that.

The benefits may change after I get a chance to properly think on the matter (and based on the level of response shown), but they won't be worse than what is listed. (Ie, I may give out things directly or accept people into my Holiday Hugs group.)

Giveaway related stuff has ended. :)

Is a game's music an important part of gaming for you?

Yes, always, and I prefer my game fully voice-acted as well.
Yes, always. It is an integral part of the experience for me.
Depends on the specific style of the games. Some game styles/genres I really prefer having music on.
Not inherently, but I do appreciate a game with solid music.
I can't remember the last time I didn't just mute a game's music right off..
I've got my own music I can listen to, why would I need to adjust myself to the music of some game composer?
Music bad. Potato good.

Bump.
