Great moments in gaming

I was playing a skirmish game of Red Alert 3 the other day. I was playing as the Empire/Japanese and was engaging in my usual tactic for winning the game easily - building about 50 Rocket Angels (armoured flying infantry who fire rockets at their enemies). As I finished building the last of the Angels I ordered them to attack the enemy base. At this point a wonderful moment of convergence occured.

While playing the game I was listening to the soundtrack (not score) for The Watchmen. It's a good collection of classic tunes, so a nice change from the game's own techno soundtrack. Anyway, as my virtual army soared through the sky, the current song on the soundtrack ended, and the next one began.

The next song was Ride of the Valkyries.

Sure, it might have been more awesome had my army consisted of 50 helicopters, but I'll work with what I've got.
