Has anyone else noticed that the Hearthstone main menu song bears a resemblance to the Dropkick Murphys song I'm Shipping Up to Boston? Or is it just me?

Music from the loading screen (when the game is choosing for you an opponent) is from the famous Blizzard games Warcraft 1,2 (RTS). Nevertheless it's processed to sound like it's on a gramophone record.

Couldn't you have used the Hearthstone thread for this in the video game section?

ivanxxxxxxx, good point. It would be the Dropkick Murphy's song sounding like Hearthstone. Also, very interesting too. I switched the title around to reflect that it is the Dropkick Murphy's song reflecting the music in Hearthstone.

Jacen96, well the thread isn't really about the game itself and could also be looked at as a thread about Dropkick Murphys. It's hard to say where this would go, Popular Media, Video Games, or The Tavern. I put it here because it's an amalgamation of things.

Edit: But you were right Jacen96, now that I think about it more it makes more sense to just ask this in Hearthstone thread. I'm going to lock this for that reason.
