What's Your Geeky Ringtone?

[JC123]

Wow, MSG codec ring and Final Fantasy fanfare music is apparently the way to go. And here I was thinking that was relatively original when my friend had it.

I've got, or had in the past:
- Spongebob Squarepants Theme.
- Foamy's ringtone (angry squirrel rants in a flash vid, worth a google) from his rant about cell phones - basically just him saying "Hey! Follow the sound of my voice, and KILL whoever is holding the phone" in his annoying, high pitched squeal.
- Portal - Still Alive (like everyone else) plus the Still Alive latin/samba version from the radio in-game, and a few random GLaDOS and turret quotes I got through GCFscrape.
- Various Sonic and Super Mario sound effects - rings, lifes, beanstalk, etc.
- Dr Who Theme
- Zarathustra (best known as "the music" from 2001: A Space Odyssey)
- About 50 or so random quotes, theme songs, etc from cartoons, movies, TV shows...e.g. The Jetsons' Doorbell was my msg tone for a while.

Anyone else tend to replace the various tones in messenger clients, operating systems, etc with geeky stuff as well? My XP error tone used to be HAL saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that". Anything that'll amuses me for a bit, until it becomes so annoying I replace it with something new.

[Lord Krunk]

The Ballad of Black Mesa [http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=nTbL5elVXrU], by LitFuse Films. If I had a celly. So long, suckers! (Runs away cackling about roaming fees or something)

Genius work there. I like silhouettes.

My ring-tone is "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. I was thinking of going nerdier and making it "Hold the Line" by Toto.

All I can say is...TROGDOOOOORRRR!!!!!!!!!

 

[Russ Pitts]

The theme to Airwolf.

When my wife calls, it's "Immigrant Song." When my boss calls, "Duel of the Fates."

To date, my favourite belongs to a friend of mine, who uses some sound effects from Metal Gear Solid.

Specifically, the "ringing" noise of Snake's communicator for a ringtone, and the "!" sound for an SMS.

I've never been interested enough to want to upload custom content to my phone.

Sir, you have just described my exact phone noises. This man deserves Tuppence.
Share it with your friend.

Put together a mix of the Portal turret speech today for the new iphone (I don't know if I'm a bigger sucker for giving Apple more money or for buying a mobile data plan in Australia. Just a shame it isn't the white model - it could masquerade as one of the turrets if I got two of them, a red LED and some legs).

I used to have The Internet is for Porn, but that got a bit embarrassing when I forgot to turn the phone to vibrate at work.

I have the codec sound effect for most people, I have "Vagabond" by Greenskeepers for my little brother, and the Freakazoid theme for some of my friends.

[Karisse]

My basic ring tone is the old school Super Mario Bros. tune, but I have Nami (from Ocarina of Time) shouting "Hey! Listen!" for when my ex calls. I find it quite appropriate.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

I have The Boggs' "Arm in Arm" as my call tone. everyone I know says "Hey that's from the Grand Theft Auto 4 commurcial, how could you?!"
As for my text it's White and Nerdy.

 

[N-Sef]

My phone is kitted out with Shin Megami Tensei music, mostly from Persona 3. My ringtone is Mass Destruction, the battle theme from P3 and my message tone is the main character saying 'Per-so-na'. Really darn nerdy.

 

[defcon 1]

*hey, listen

I'm not even kidding. I did that just to mess with people but it messed with me. My real one is the ring from Metal Gear Solid.

 

[knumpify]

the wilhelm scream

booyah

(bonus points to all who get it)

 

[Johnn Johnston]

My new text ringtone is the Flood shout from Halo 3. When it goes off at 3am after a long day of gaming, it *slightly* un-nerves me.
