Frog.
Blast.
The Ventcore.

Can't get much simpler than that.

Key

It doesn't mean anything. Literally. It just sounds cool, and they needed something that sounded cool and nonsensical for one of the guys to yell.

Problem solved.

Legitimate reason no longer needed. :)

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Its from marathon. The evil BOBS would yell it and that's how you could tell them from normal ones.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

I'm outta ammo!



ProTip: Green jumpsuit and any keyphrase? Backpedal while firing.

Marathon reference?? As I said earlier, I never played the game.
Ask the BoBs. They'll give you your answers.

Just make sure you kill them after you get your answer.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Frog Blast the Vent core was a random phrase added to Marathon when you are about to blast some power supply and the B.O.Bs help you.

It's the weirdest catchphrase ever, rated just above Spoon.

It was used in Marathon. Bungie needed someone to come up with a weird catchphrase for the BoBs to say, and an employee (I forget who, it was back when Bungie was small. Look it up on Bungiepedia, just search "frog blast the ventcore") immediately blurted out "Frog Blast the Ventcore!"

There's no real meaning behind it.

I think "Green Jumpsuit? Start firing." is better advice.

I will own everyone in Halo: Reach

Marathon reference, random B.o.B. dialogue.
But i once read it is also a reference to Halo CE.
Remember the last level?
Master chief is green, and jumps...frog; and you had to BLAST the VENTCORES.....

I think we are playing two different games.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

As long as you're still backpedaling.

You are now aware that the final level in halo CE made you frog blast (with granades or rockets) the vent cores of the pillar of autumns engines in order to make it go critical.

Bungie, master trolls since 1991.

An old quote from around the Myth and Marathon times I believe.

All counter-arguments to evolution are based on a gross misunderstanding of the theory.

Don't trust the green BoBs.
