Love the thread idea. Be sure to keep a list of the questions asked in chronological order so a few months down the line we don't look like a bunch of crazy people.
For me, it definitley depends on the game. If I'm trying to get immersed, then music all the way. If it's a competitive online vidja like TF2 or Smite, I need my mid-90's alt rock blasting to keep me in the zone.
The best exception to either of these is Skyrim. Guys, if you haven't tried this before and want some real cool immersion, plug in your headset, crank up the volume, turn off the in game music and walk around with only the cool sounds of the north. It really changes the feel of the entire game, plus it cuts out the same 4 god damn songs that play everywhere.
