Do you use sounds or music from video games as a ringtone or message notification? I use the quake armor pickup sound as a text sound and the playonline viewer music as a ringtone. Let me know in the comment section what you guys use.

Of course! No true gamer would use anything other. For texts I use the classic Mario mushroom sound, I also have the coin sound on backup. I need suggestions on improvements for this, it's too basic bitch

For the longest time I had the Silent Hill theme as a ringtone - http://youtu.be/6pkSSbGcaz4

I just recently changed it to a loving :krad: tune: Journey to Silius theme - http://youtu.be/jkWYvENgxwA

I use Rules of Nature from Metal Gear Rising as my general ringtone, starting with the rules of nature part. It startles me sometimes but I still like it.

The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater special trick sound.

Various Pacman sounds.

Dragon Quest (9 I think) leveling up.

The announcer in Sonic racing yells "BLOWFISH!"



I think that's it for my notification sounds.

This post is full of pretty awesome holes. I like all the holes in this post.
I have used VG music as my ring tone for years even when you had to actually buy your ring tone. I bought "Ryu's theme". That poo poo was dope.

counting that, my other themes of note have been:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31fba-gnIfk - BoF 3 - country living

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSfPapsT-BA - GOD HAND - Gene's Rock a Bye

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eDGD7kwsxM - TF2 theme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVQAV9NFGbQ - Hyrule Field main theme, but a better version ofc

get that OUT of my face

i haven't used video game music as a ringtone yet, but i've made a couple of video game jingles as text notifications

Eekum Bokum from Banjo Kazooie is my current notification
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN1w76NBwtQ
the Pigmask fanfare from Mother 3 was my notification before that. it was too long though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GobmgAne-E

i've been thinking about making the golden banana fanfare from DK64 as my text notification but i love Eekum Bokum too much
