ok, remember the sound effect that would play when you selected the terran "academy" building in starcraft? ever notice how that shows up in like every other commercial for a sci-fi movie or in other random places? it was at the end of the "inside doom" clip thats on IGN right now, and i think that has to be about the fiftieth time ive heard it outside starcraft. was it from somewhere else, and blizzard stole it? or was it originally from the game, and now its just used in everything for some reason?

or am i the only one whos noticed this?

"Need more overlords"

I kept thinking of that line when I saw all the news headlines about how they needed more airlift support to rescue hurricane survivors.

99% of video game sound effets are royalty free pieces out of various sound libraries. As are 99% of promo commercial sounds and roughly 10% of big budget motion picture sounds.

I think I first noticed that sound from Doom 1, but yeah, it's everywhere.

I've heard the protoss ambient sound a lot of places. Though the screaming sound is the Everywhere Girl? of soundclips.

Remember DOOM2? Level 30, the one where monsters keep spawning out and there's a sound effect?? They use this in movies where fires start? Psshhhhwhoooo kinda like that? I suck at typing out sounds, but yea.. that's a really lame sound effect, and after playing Doom 2 I was like dude wtf stop repeating this sound in all low budget movies/science documentaries to show fires starting.
