I was thinking that the community here has several groups, chat area's and so forth spread all over the place and it can be alittle daunting for newcomers to find the info for all of the different community groups we have.
So I am going to try compiling them into one list, that will hopefully be stickied for ease of access to old and newcomers alike. If I miss one, please post it here and I'll add it.
IRC: Old school chatting with the rest of the GoG community. Instructions on how to join, or for server/channel name are here.
Steam Group: Organise games with your fellow GoGers, kept updated by GoG regulars with the latest news from the site.
Last.FM group: Share your musical taste with fellow members, gradually build up a GoG radio station made up of the most listened to artists and tracks by all members.
Twitter, Youtube and Facebook are all linked to at the bottom of this and every page!

Last.fm group inspired by me, after I asked if any of you had a last.fm account!
I don't use the Steam group, because I have Steam but I don't like maing friends there. Just me.
I am sure people will benefit from such groups and I hope anything that moves gog forward works.
For me personally, I just come to gog proper and look around. To try to keep up with another site/group is too much work on my end.
Why not just add the various Youtube channels (the offical and user upload channel), Twitter, and Facebook links? :)

I don't see Audioslave as "metal".
That either tells you something about gamers, or last.fm. Probably both. (not metaller and not last.fm user here)

I think alot of gamers are metal heads. Which is why so many games have generic metal soundtracks!
Despite ourselves we get shivers down our spines killing/racing to crunching guitar riffs and heavy beats.
I often play shooters with In Flames, Soilwork or Killswitch Engage, they're a great soundtrack to... well to EVERYTHING really...
GTA games are ideal for metal soundtracks, thats one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to the GTA4 addon, any game that uses Sepultura's Dead Embryonic Cells in the trailer is a game I'm interested in

I usually stick with the game soundtrack... in fact the only exception I can think of right now is Wipeout HD. That techno crap just had to go: now I'm listening to Tracy Chapman.
It depends on the quality of the games soundtrack...and type/setting of the game for me. Racing games these days, as an example, are all trying to get actual bands into their playlists.
GTA has always handle this the best with the custom mp3 radio stations on pc versions of their games. GTA IV takes it one step better by putting random adverts and a DJ on that station.
