Über diesen Sound

The Orc Peon 'Work complete' voice line from Warcraft II, the short job-done sound effect gamers use to mark a finished task or build in videos.

This is the Orc Peon announcing 'Work complete' in Warcraft II, a flat, grunt-like delivery that lasts just a fraction of a second. The line is instantly recognisable to strategy players because you hear it every time a building finishes in the game, so it carries a built-in sense of a job being ticked off. Outside the game it works as a dry punchline, landing the joke that something mundane is finally done without needing any extra explanation or reaction from the person on screen.

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness was released by Blizzard Entertainment in 1995 as a real-time strategy game, and its Orc and Human campaigns gave worker units a full set of spoken replies. The Peon, the Orc labourer who gathers resources and constructs buildings, says 'Work complete' the moment construction finishes. Clips of the line later spread through gaming forums, streams and soundboards, where its blunt, satisfied delivery made it a reusable shorthand for finishing any real world task, long after the original game.

Profi-Tipp zur Verwendung

Drop it right on the cut when a progress bar hits 100 percent, a render finishes, or a character sets down a tool. Keep the original game volume, do not add reverb, and leave a half second of silence after so the grunt lands cleanly.
