People thought that it was a way to get into Hangar 96. I don't really know.

Long description short: A nonsensical phrase made by exploding clones in marathon. All Bungie ask was "Say something random" to the voice actor and he instantly spewed "Frog blast the vent core!"

Posted in: Words, Phrases, and Memes on Bungiepedia

A seemingly gibberish statement can occasionally be randomly seen on Bungie.net. Its origins are from the Bungie game Marathon 2, as randomly spoken string of words by an assimilated or "exploda bob". According to the Marathon scrap book, during the development of Marathon 2, when Alex asked Doug (the voice of bob) to utter a random phrase for use with the assimilated bob, he immediately shouted "frog blast the vent core!"

It is believed by Marathon 2 fans that the term is a hint from the game as to the method to reach a secret area of a certain level in the game Marathon (source). Now, however, the term is freely used to mean just about anything -- or nothing -- when referring to Bungie or Bungie-related topics.

Oh, that explains a bit of it. But why would they guy even think of saying "Frogblast the ventcore!". It's gotta be the most random statement I've heard.

I have embraced this statement, and I now center my life around it.

How does one center around that? Does that mean you're the ventcore? I'm lost.

I always wondered this when playing Marathon Durandal in my youth. From my current understanding, the man who voiced the phrases for the BOBs said a slew of silly saying, such as Frog, blast the ventcore!" Bungie applied the skew speech to all assimilated BOBs. (The bad ones)

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

It's because the assimilated BOBs use some piece of unreliable technology that tries to slap a (human) sentence together but messes up once in a while.
