    I've got a nice pic that I use on my social site, but unfortunately I don't have the "material" anymore to reproduce the pic with a sign where I hold my username :(

    That's an authentic military grade gas mask from the first gulf war. We were given it (along with all other residents) since our city was under constant risk of a gas attack.

    And I rate the hats (in order):

    1. FlyingMonkey99. I don't have any idea what the hell's going on, but I broke up laughing.

    2. Tree Burner. Two words: Bad... Donkey. You know what I mean. It reminds me of Killing Floor, when you have the Santa skin and use a claymore.

    3. Rayyan. That's authentic? That's pretty awesome. I'm sorry that your town needed it, but still awesome.

    4. Ktulu85. Just like with Monkey, I broke up laughing at it. Don't know why. You'd think a monkey on your head would be eh. But I lol'd. Must be the same reason why the guy who put a Pikachu on his head last year also won.

    5. DRevan. While the Half-Life was kind of cool, what really made it was the crowbar.

    6. tbsk8ter. Not sure what's going on there, but you look gangsta with a water thing on your head.

    Precisely. Monkey picks a game. You get what's left. Next person picks one from the remainder, and so on.

    If there were 11 entrants, there would have been 11 winners. Just giving everyone some variety. You still only get one game haha.

    I'm actually having some issues accepting the gift.

    I got the steam email, but when I click on the link to accept the gift, it opens steam, but the game is not added to my "gift inbox" or my game library.
