what does H.E.V stand for

Hay all its me .....

hey do you know what H.E.V stands for anyway?

Doesn't it tell you at the beginning of HL? Hazardous Environment somethingsomething...

Well Genia says Hazards,environment,suit  so I dont know what the V stands for. AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

vest? maybe

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.

pets Gollum on the head and gives him a cookie

"Vox" means "voice".

Eg. fvox in the HL pak sounds directory.

Silly silly Myrk! Everyone musta used that vox on their first maps... "dr! free-man! re-port! to! sector! C! for! questioning!" :smile:

Those were the days :wink:

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

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

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

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

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 :biggrin:

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

[offtopic]OMG Gwill i live in derby too, what part do you live in?[/offtopic]

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!) :smile:

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

Whats denby's pet suppies? Did i miss a news thing or a joke?

I think you people in Derby have your own "National News", different to the rest of yonder UK

Heh I used to live in Mansfield, Notts and when I get back in November I'll prolly be in Forest Town.

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.

I'll meet up with anyone at a pub that lives around London, Ontario as long as they pay cos I'm skint and when I get back to England anyone that lives in Derby,Notts or anywhere around there and I may beable to get a round in then as well

OR we could be like b3ta.com and and have everyone who lives in a general area meet at a bar/pub somewhere. :biggrin:

Yea mabie H.E.V isnt a name mabie its a list of its abilitys H.E=hazardus environment suit .V= with vox system

Actually, if any of you ignorant fools have watched the national news (ITV or BBC1) (UK people) you would have seen Denby pet supplies as the headlining story on both!

Some dodgy factory was buying chicken unfit for human consumption (?25 a ton says it all) and selling it to national supermarkets, schools and hospitals, as well as many other places :smile: It pays not to live with your hands over your ears and your eyes..

[edit - forgot to add - I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU!]

Its a Derby Suberb (whatever) called chadesden. Its the largest on in derby, i know that bar. Too young to go though at 16 :rolleyes:  i know Kilburn, my mates gran lives there somewhere, well guess that its a small world afterall. 

Edit: Oh yeah, that shiz with the chicken, it was on UKs worst aswell.

Eeee, I know Chad, everybody knows Chad :wink: Got a couple of ex-workmates live up there - not nearly as bad as people make out! Kilburn is more or less Chad in the form of a village!

I heard about it... Ewww....

Mad Cows,

Dodgy Chicken, What next? Blind Turkey?

I live in the English Riviera! Torquay!

I live 30 seconds from the highest promendae walk in the UK. Overloking the sea! Very nice!
