Description	Recorded vocal briefing, spoken by a character of the Space Marines, from the game.
Source	Self-made recording from the computer game, Space Hulk by Electronic Arts
Article	Space Hulk (video game)
Portion used	This is a portion of one of more than fifty voice recordings in the video game, and hence insignificant.
Low resolution?	Yes, original sound sample is 8-bit emulated from a PC speaker.
Purpose of use	To help readers understand the monastic atmosphere of the briefings, which has produced polar reactions among reviewers. The concept of a vocal atmosphere is best illustrated with the experience of hearing the sample itself. This sample also helps listeners to judge for themselves the vocal quality of EA's work in synthesizing speech on a PC speaker, which normally produces simple beeps.
Replaceable?	Electronic Arts and Games Workshop have not released any vocal samples into the public domain, and a free replacement track could not be created that would adequately provide the same information
Other information	As the game is out-of-production and no longer on sales, the use of this recording neither detracts from the game nor inhibits its commercial rights in any way
