 +I often don't pay enough attention to a game's sound design while playing
 +it. But particular sound effects can really stick with me... showing up as
 +surprise nostalgia years later when I hear an HEV suit charging, the chunk
 +of an 8-ball launcher, or even "wort wort wort".
 +
 +Of course the classic Quake sound effects from McGee/Romero/Reznor are high
 +on that list. So for a while now I'd thought it would be nerdycool to set a
 +few Quake sound effects as phone alert sounds. When I actually bit the
 +bullet though, it was a surprising amount of work to find good alert-sound
 +candidates and then extract, rename, noise-reduce, format-convert, and
 +gain-normalize them.
 +
 +I decided it would be neat, in a small way, if I could make a shortcut for
 +that process -- a utility that you could throw your pak files at, and have
 +processed sounds pop out the other end. Having a Quake Advent Calendar slot
