But it's not a vest! It's an HEV suit, Harzardous EnV. suit.

Though I think it's Hazardous Environmental Vox, it has a Vox in it. What Vox stands for I have no idea.

"Vox" means "voice".

Eg. fvox in the HL pak sounds directory.

Thats what a vox is yes, but why not call it Voice? Does Vox mean computer voice or does it stand for something? [addsig]

Ah yes, the virgin-mapper overuse of Vox, as displayed in Gmdm1

\Vox\, n. [L. See Voice.] A voice

*me passes Myrk a theosaurus to learn the theory behind lots of words having the same meaning *

It's probably just a HEV suit - Hazardous EnVironment suit - because HE sounded too close to High Explosive suit? Just an idea, not all acronyms are truly acronyms after all....

Vox sounds so cool though you have to admit, always wanted to make an evil spaceship with that voice used loads, really evil sounding [addsig]

It may just be, as the suit does have the inbuilt voice as one of its main features... - more to the point, who cares?

Tell a lie, I actually live in a village outside of Derby called Kilburn - near the now infamous "Denby Pet Supplies" (everyone musta seen these on the national news!)

I work in the city centre, in Saddlers Bar on Sadler Gate though! Where do you hail from mate? Adam Hawkins (mapper on here) lives in Chesterfield, as well...

I think it's Hazardous EnViormental SUIT.  Take out all of those capital letters in order and you get H.E.V. SUIT.

If you all live in the UK, you're about five minutes away from eachother anyway.

Once we get more members again, we could do like Fark.com and have everyone who lives in a general area meet at a bar/pub somewhere.
