Find a Frog!

[Mechagodzilla]

Find a frog!

:frog: :frog: :frog: :frog: :frog: :frog: :frog: :frog: :frog: :frog:

If you can find the frog(s), or other(s) like it/them, in any official Half-Life game, post a screenshot here.

The only rules are:

-Actual in-game footage only: no modifications or model viewers.
-No internet searches for frog-finding-faq's.
-Make your own screenshot. Don't fake or borrow.
And, most importantly:
-Never divulge the location of the frog(s) under any circumstances! Edit you screenshot for minimum clues!

Since this is a non-profit contest, cheating is only an admission of defeat.
Winners, on the other hand, will recieve the respect of their peers!
Let's see who's got the power!?!

Sorry, it took a while to find the picture & attach it.

I'm not intoxicated with beer. Only frog-finding fever!

[Shuzer]

Nope, sorry.

-Actual in-game footage only: no modifications or model viewers.

Also, the above attached screenshot was taken personally from inside an official, working copy of Half-life or one of it's sequels. No tampering or outside programs were used.

The frog is hard to find, but I have heard stories that there is more than one....

 

[Rupertvdb]

OHHH GOD its all so OBVIOUS now! You my friend are trying to find FROGS, THATS a TOAD!!!

 

[Mechagodzilla]

OHHH GOD its all so OBVIOUS now! You my friend are trying to find FROGS, THATS a TOAD!!!

Nonono, the contest is clearly labeled as:

Find a frog!

So, don't just quibble over semantics and proper word choice! Find a frog...

& WIN!

No, not the chumtoad. The chumfrog, Brian!

 

[Brian Damage]

Ah. You refer to the Chumtoad...

 

[Rupertvdb]

hence my toad comment, i think this is life jim, but not as we know it

 

[Brian Damage]

You gotta wonder... why "chumtoad"?

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Chum is shark food/bait, while toads are small and amphibious.

Thus, the chumtoad is the small, amphibious food that Xen aliens eat.
They are nearly all predators, after all. They've got to eat something.

That's why Chumtoads/frogs are so rare on Xen.

And, yet, not impossible to find...

 

[Skullhair]

What's this have to do with HL2? Can you lick frogs in HL2?

 

[phantomdesign]

/me: Waits to see this moved to off-topic chat....

 

[BackFyr]

w00t first one

Now I want my prize

 

[CrazyHarij]

I've only seen a chumtoad in a Sven Coop map. Toonstruck or something was the name of the map.

 

[ferd]

hmm made me think about that Easter Egg ppl were talking about a year ago

 

[AcousticToad]

I wish i was a chumtoad

Urg, what a thing to post as my comeback...

 

[madFive]

ya - you should be able to eat them - like in rune - to gain uber health points or something...and speaking of rune...wonder when/if they'll ever make the sequal to that...would be sweet in the ur3 engine...

anyhow...as much as i would love to replay the entire HL original and all its spinoffs, i have no such time available to myself...would anyone be so kind as to say at least what GAME the frog is in?? ...not that i would use said info to win the contest and the massive prize $$$ that goes with it, but just out of curiosity...pure curiosity...nudge, nudge, wink, wink...

 

[Glo-Boy]

It was in ***********


(edit: not allowed to say the name of the game? I know which it was - I'm fairly sure.)

You're damn right it was.

Damn you're smart.

 

[Vegeta897]

So let me get this straight... In Half-Life, the official game... not Sven Coop... there is a frog somewhere in the game? Like an easter egg? And we are supposed to find it, post it here, and win glorious fake prizes? Well, looks like someone already won...

 

[Tarkus]

I wish i was a chumtoad

Urg, what a thing to post as my comeback...

EDIT-> DAMN U AND THAT JOKE U MADE ME SPIT THE WATER

 

[Prince of China]

:sniper: :frog:

Must save t3h Forg form tHe snipar;(

 

[Tarkus]

perhaps we all have steped on t3|-| fR0gm41$73R, and thats why we never saw him.

 

[HybridM]

I've only finished half-life twice, but I've never seen anything like that. :-/

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Ah, it seems that a frog has been found, although I have no idea where BackFyr found it.
Now, since I guess that the contest is over, maybe BackFyr could divulge the placement of his frog, since I'm frankly baffled as to it's location.

I thought that more people would have known about the locations of hidden frog easter eggs.
So if you want to see the frog, here's how to find mine:

*SPOILER for frog hunters! Skip this post if you want to find frogs on your own!*

Start a new game in Blueshift, and go collect your gun.
While you're in the armory/firing range, pick up all the ammo you can find.

Next, go to the locker room and open Barney's locker.
On the floor of the locker, under the books about aliens and government conspiracies, there is a non-descript cardboard box.
Fire every single bullet at the box, and it will finally break, revealing a chumtoad.
Yay!

I've heard that there is also a secret cavern in Blueshift's Xen mission that contains a whole lotta chumtoads.
I have not yet found it, as it is reportedly concealed by a crowbar-able barrier.

Your new frog mission is to find this cavern!

 

[Fender357]

Blueshift isn't Half - Life..................................god your are so drunk......


I knew the damn frog wasn't in HL1.

I've played the game through 36 times.

 

[SpuD]

I cant find it.

 

[FictiousWill]

Don't know why valve didn't put the chumtoad in the actual game, it fits the species well. Poke646 used it with a twist, which I liked.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Blueshift isn't Half - Life..................................god your are so drunk......

I'm sorry if you mis-interpreted, but:

[The frog is] inside an official, working copy of Half-life or one of it's sequels

It's like I said:

I'm not intoxicated with beer. Only frog-finding fever!

Anywho, to Spud:
Did you try the directions I posted back there?

And has anyone seen the hidden Xen cavern?

 

[Pressure]

I found the cavern and the frogs were all over!

 

[ComradeBadger]

Best. Thread. Ever.



I'll go frog hunting soon

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I just played through Blueshift's Xen mission, but no sign of the cavern yet.

If I remember correctly, it may have been underwater, and there is a crack in the wall, which you must smash apart. Maybe?

Remember, these are easter eggs of the highest degree.
Finding the cave-o-frogs may involve some bizarre action, like unloading sixty-some bullets into a cardboard package.

Also, I wonder where BackFyr found his, as it does not appear to be either of the known locales.
