I've been considering using psychological cues from videogames to help in my studies.

For instance, I could have a tape recorder play one of those "goal completed" sounds, like the jingles from Metroid games, every time I complete a problem or finish reading a chapter. Similarly, every time I get the wrong answer on a problem, I could play a suitably frustrating sound, like Mario screaming as he falls into a pit.

Every time I finish an assignment prior to the night before it's due, I could give myself an index card saying, "You have unlocked a full night's sleep!"

During finals, I could hum some vaguely apocalyptic, final boss music. Plus I would embellish the exams' titles. "Multivariable Calculus Final," for instance, would be crossed out and replaced with "Gigavariable Excalculodeath".

Just some thoughts.

Final Fantasy has a great 'Victory Fan Fare' sound. FF5 for the SNES is the best of the 16-bit generation. FF10 has my favorite version of it.

OH! For the death you could use RASTAN's death scream.

Nope. That's my whole comment :)

NO.

I run enough risk as it is of my heart exploding.

That's the idea. :)

Not only do I fully support this idea, but I aspire to make good use of it.

...My entire life would be boss music, though.

You should realize that makes you the final boss.

And speaking of which, have you seen Final Fantasy A+ (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/164193)? Still one of my favorite spoofs of the series ever.

YES! I am the final boss!!!

...Oh. That means some wanna-be hero is going to slay me in the name of whatever the hell they're "fighting for". Well, damn. Not the worst way to die, but... how embarrassing.

On the up side, I will get to look kick-ass and have cool powers.

Heh, I had totally forgotten about that. It is indeed cool.
