With the huge price discrepancies between gaming consoles and gaming PC's, I've always wondered why anyone would pay north of $2000 for an overclocked PC to play games when a console at a fraction of the price would suffice. But then I remembered that you can't hack a console game as easily as you can a PC game. Even replacing the sound effects for a game can be a profound experience. I remember back in high school we played an unofficial Star Trek game called NetTrek, and we would replace the phaser and torpedo sounds with sounds from the Monty Python shows. Needless to say, the "SPAM" sound still is ingrained into my subconscious to this day.

While that was fun and sort of amateurish, this sound replacement pack for the new game Left 4 Dead really takes the cake. Apparently, you can play as a large monster called Tank and you can go and hunt the protagonists in the game in some sort of deathmatch mode. Someone had enough sense to dub in sounds from the Tourettes Guy videos for Tank and it seems pretty appropriate (language warning):
