Playstation Sound Effects Extracted

As part of his continuing efforts to experiment with various Wing Commander video sources, AD has managed to extract the sound effects from Wing Commander 3 and 4 for the Playstation. Using a program called PSound, he was able to pull out the various clips and turn them into regular wav files. The WC3 clips are organized somewhat randomly, but the WC4 file structure made categorization much easier. All the voice overs for plot choices in English, German and French have been included, and the sound effects are also properly named. It's kind of fun to play around with some of these. A few files in the package might make good sounds to spice up your operating system environment, and various fan projects can utilize these as well. You can grab the full 13 meg zip here.

Will You Be My Friend?

Everybody has looked at celebrities and thought how really great it would be to know them in real life, so our new poll asks you which WC actor you'd most like to befriend. To keep it fair, we've limited the options to male actors in case it turns in to a contest of who is prettier. You could also click the discuss button below and let us know why you chose who you did. Our previous poll asked about your CIC visiting habits. The results make me happy with only 14% of people visiting less often and over 45% of people either new visitors or visiting more often than they did a year ago.
