I’m vaguely reminded of when I was charged with adding sounds to a Java applet game. As a joke I added a five minute sequence of “dying” sounds I found online somewhere. Each death scream was separated with about a second of silence. It was a beautifully comic effect as it just kept going on and on and on. We were tempted to shift it as an Easter egg but it dramatically increased the size of the applet and this was the days of most people accessing the internet via dialup.

The biggest challenge was, this was 2000 and MP3s were still a new technology and Java of that era could only play uncompressed audio samples.
