I've got a PMG (I think) sitting in my closet... I was hoping to put together a HalfLife2 Metrocop costume for halloween... Haven't gotten very far, I'm afraid.

Besides, after trying it on, I can't imagine wearing it for an entire evening... :eek:

Gas masks are cool, though... They're a one-step way to turn anyone freakish. :)

As a venezuelan citizen i'm proud to know that espectaculars locations such as the angel water fall are from venezuela.

There's also an unique place in the world at the west of the country called the catatumbo river ( State of zulia ) where an unique natural phenomenon take place at.

It's a permanent blow of silent thunders that goes on all day around for about six months lighting up the skies every thirty seconds,

This phenomenon occurs because the concentration of methane gas in the air are so high that the clouds absorbe all of it & when they collide each other the results are those lighting almost every thirty seconds,but totally silent,
scientists found out that this natural event creates the 25 % of all the ozone layer across the world.

It's magnificient sight that you can't never forgett

At night is when you can enjoy all this lighting happening,especially on those very hot days ( even though it's always 85 degrees year-around) they also figured out that the amount of electricity created by this phenomenon in six months can supply energy to all the south-american continent for days & days to come.

The state of zulia in venezuela is where most of the proved oil reserve is located at in the western hemisfere.

LOL, that's cool. I have several PMGs still. They are one of my favorite designs. And yeah, its obvious Valve fasioned the combine soldier mask after it as well. But you're right, they are extraordinarily uncomfortable for even short periods of time.
