Let there be... SOUND!

Up to this point, the computers in Sudikoff didn't have the drivers installed for the speakers.  So, unfortunately, for these first weeks, we've had to play Warhammer in silence.  But tonight, as I logged onto the computer, I was shocked to hear that old Windows XP sign-on chime.  "WE HAVE SOUND NOW?!" I cried to the empty room... So as soon as I booted up Warhammer, I watched the opening FMV and basked in the sounds of the old woman's narration, the clashing of weapons, and grunts and screams of agony.  I was sooo sure this addition would add to my experience with the game.  After about 10 minutes of playing, I realized it didn't.  My avatar made the same ugly grunt with every attack.  The NPC's all talked in the same faux-spooky voice that was eerily reminiscent of Darth Sidious from Star Wars.  There was no soundtrack... just the sound of my character running and grunting... and the occasional random howl from a wolf that wanted to fight me.

Needless to say, I shut the speakers off and went back into silent-Warhammer-while-bumping-some-funky-fresh-tunes-from-my-iPod-mode...
