Ok think of this as a "Do you whistle to fighting game music?" spinoff, not a rip-off!

What videogame/anime ringtone is on your mobile? Write down any related funny stories if that applies.

Ok, I have many ringtones on MP3 format, but my default one used to be "Holy Orders" from GGXX. I work at an office, so it's pretty common to listen to polyphonic ringtones on people's mobiles. One day I had my mobile, with the volume at maximum on one of my coat's pocket. The thing started ringing and the whole office was looking at me surprised, my friends laughing, and one of my co-workers behind me asking, is that ACDC?
Can you believe I was listening to Holy Orders on my headphones from the computer, at that very moment?

I recently changed my default ringtone to Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle without honor or humanity #1", featured on Kill Bill Vol1, and it happened again. I was listening to music, when suddenly, I started to notice some loud sound comming from far behind me. People in front of me started to look that way. I put out one of the headphones, while thinking "who is the asshole with that loud music?". Then I recogniced the song, and a moment later found out it was my mobile! I could see one of my friend's head appearing from a far colunm while I was answering, the bastard was having some laughs...

The only ring tone I use is Ryu's SF2 Theme song that I got from Arcadetones.com. I've had it for 2 years and still love it.

The funniest thing that happened with my Ring Tone was when I was at Big Apple Anime Fest 2 years ago, the director of Initial D was there to show off Initial D. As a complete surprise Sunday Morning, he announced he brung over the new Fist of the Northstar OVA, and the subtitles(done in house) were actually better than the crappy bootleg sub that was floating around because this time I undersood when the story took place unlike the Sub. Anyway, I forgot to turn my Cell off since they didn't remind people to do so. My girlfriend at the time called me (I swear they have radar and call you at the worst times!) and during one of the quiet moments of the flick where not much was going on my cell with Ryu's theme on full blast went went off! Everyone said "Shhh!" and after I said sorry and turned it off, everyone laughed since they all recognized Ryu's theme including the director! Heh, heh, only Sano can rep for SF during Fist! It's too bad the OVA series itself turned to crap after parts 2 & 3.

Mmmm nice stuff! I should put some FF6 music on mine's...

I also have some MGS2, Castlevania, Out Run, Kirby's Dream Land and Street of Rage tunes.

Of course I have some Kishidan and Katamari Damacy songs, but they are too embarrasing to put them as default ringtones...

I'd love to get the X-Men vs. Street Fighter selection screen in my mobile phone, but I have no bluetooth nor any PC connection cable(only an IR port), so I guess I'll have to wait...

I have at least 20 video game ringtones... some of them are pretty accurate. My favorite one out of all of them is a Parappa the Rappa ringtone (the one that has the chorus, "Step on the gas, step on the brake").

It's an inside joke with friends as well, because last year I dressed up as Parappa for Halloween.

I don't have a mobile, and I don't want one. However, as silly as it may sound, in the moment I'll need one, the thing that I will do first is select a cool videogame music as a ringtone.

On games I have Pong and I think that I have Galaxian to, my cel is way to old.

On tunes I have mostly opera, Vivaldi 4 seasons are my favourite.... But since I'm always at work or class I have the cel without tunes ;P

See??? He is a God...

My phone is just a plain one without anything fancier than SNAKE II and that little spaceship game, but I chose the firecracker ringtone just because it sounded sort of like the "weeeee-ooooooo!" that the dogs did in SH3. Well, it reminded me of it, at least.

Megaman tunes... that reminds me of something I did today.

Ladys & Gentleman, today was the first time I connected my mobile phone to that thing called "the internet". Oh wait, it was just the "Vodafone Live!" service whose access is placed on a button that you can commonly press when you didn't want to.

I was taking a break from work with some co-workers, when one of them started browsing a similar service on his mobile. I then said WTF, I'm going to do it to. I browsed the videogames section and started reading some game companys out of the list ... Namco!... Taito! and then I shouted... Capcom!!! I just entered on that option and saw there were a bunch of games you could download: Megaman, Street Fighter Alpha something, RE something, and Ghouls' n' Ghosts puzzle something. Since I didn't know how much I was spending browsing those menus, I jumped at Megaman, and downloaded it for about 3$.

It's a nice port of the first NES Megaman game, with tiny graphics, the tunes you always loved from the original game and an enhaced gameplay to fit the mobile buttons and limitations. The game is a lot easier than the original, if you die, you continue in the same place you were, and the game progress is saved automatically. It's pretty sweet, now I know what I'll be doing when travelling by train from work to home!
