Yay norgg! Can't believe we missed out on such an obvious password...
Glad to see this (hopefully) pick up pace again.

So the road that's the most visible on the map starts with W, and is a Road, not a street.

It seems to be a long name, which is good. Around 10 characters is my guess. so W _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ RD.

My guess for the second letter is I. after that, not so sure.

Also, the part in the past where Jim gets punched seems to be the story between "Sleepless" Bill Bishop and Andre Filipe Filipe, who invented the punching strategy. The story (which is present in the first game) goes that Bill Bishop was quite surprised when, describing what he had for breakfast that morning, Andre F. Filipe punched him and put him out for the count. This may also explain the breakfast items present in the calendar - it could be what Bill Bishop was describing before Andre punched him.

Also, the special thing about April 5th was that it was the day when Frog Fractions 2 passed its kickstarter goal.

Here's a recap of each bit of the stinky video, just because I'm as stuck as the rest of you guys:

Frog on a lily pad, gets surrounded by bugs. In a park.
Frog eats a butterfly in a supermarket.
Frog riding a turtle.
Frog (in a video game) jumping towards an apple (in real life).
Frog in the air over apples?
Frog on a dragons head.
Frog riding a dragon through space.
Frog and Draggy on one of the NASA pages, above a picture of the surface of mars.
Frog and dragon by a spinny arm thing, similar to the machine from the very start of Bug Mars in the original.
A judge hammer hits a childrens table.
A frog signs something- looks like it is signing "OU".
A bug Mars Working holiday VISA cake?
Mario 3 Frog Suit!
Jim talking. My theory for this is above.
Bored audience.
Someone curls up a fist.
Someone is watching a dog on tv while waving their tail about. A fish swims by.
The fist punches Jim.
The crowd looks more excited.
Jim starts to fall.
Frog and dragon in front of a game stage.
crowd is excited and parties.
Jim falls to the ground, his hand dropping.
A man in the audience punches a woman.
More dog show on tv for the mermaid.
A jug in a full sink.
A jug getting filled from a pond/river.
The google map. A person wearing a frog hand moves the map upward.
A rug is pulled, revealing a water meter.
A red pole against a wall.
Frog taking some sticky tape?
pink goo coming out of a tap.
pink goo in a canister.
A frog killing sharks in an arcade.
Playing skeeball.
Deal or no deal.
Motorbike simulator.
A tiger and a lion plush together. The tiger drinks some tea.
The zimbabwe flag.
A snail wearing a tie.
A fish wearing a crown.
Frog and Dragon conversing.
Playing prince of persia.
Frog dives into a pool.

And with typing this out, I realise I'm an idiot, and this video is the whole plot to Frog Fractions:
You start off on a lilipad, eating bugs. You upgrade to a lillipad, gain apples, find the apples at the bottom of a lake, and then get the dragon upgrade.
You then get the warp upgrade to go to space, towards mars, and fight the guardian there.You go to court, and sign a working holiday visa. You then go back to eating bugs, swim down and start to learn the history of wrestling (see above). You see a normal mermaid and a robotic one watching tv during the course of this swim.
(the jug doesn't fit)
The google map is reference to the glowing display in the text adventure. In the text adventure, one thing you do is pull a rug to reveal a hatch. you then enter the hatch, see pink goo everywhere, look at the machine, take the paper, the tape, fill a coffeee can up with pink goo from a spigot, then you go to sleep. When you wake up you run for president, which involves a DDR style minigame (Explains the arcade). You then get some fake credits, betsy bluebonnet (which is shown as a lion and a tiger having tea), sir clarence gastropod (who is a snail wearing a bow tie), draggy ceilingeater himself, and at the end, a frog gets a crown. All the meantime the zimbabwe flag is flying in the background. After this, you become the president, play a fully fledged economics simulator, get your presidential pool, and dive into it.

So, all that's left is to find out what the jug of water and the red pole is for. I think I accounted for everything else.

Another thing that seems odd is that the arcade shows up a disproportionate amount of times compared to the ddr section. Unless the Deal or no Deal machine is also meant to show the economics simulator? (As well as Prince of Persia, which may itself be a clue). For the red pole, i think it might be referencing the goop around the room, the pole or the wire, but it could also be a clue. Is it possible (because this is an arg, after all) that there's still something hidden in the original Frog Fractions game, which was added after the kickstarter ended? Maybe something to do with the keypad in the engine room?

[Norgg]

I don't /think/ so, unless he's quietly updated the game. I may have decompiled and checked the original Frog Fractions for clues/urls a while back...

I did find a reference to http://twinbeard.com/visas/ (screenshot here in case it vanishes: http://i.imgur.com/E6RNbez.png), but it was disabled, which I thought at the time was because he was originally going to gather all the work visas, but decided not to (I uploaded http://twinbeard.com/visas/1398857854_66281721.png as a test). It looks like there's been several more entries since then though which look like they're from Frog Fractions Visas from the frequency of crudely drawn penii alone.

[Killrrhubarb]

So we're basically finished with this video then? Unless there's previous clues we can work on with knowledge from the video.

[likeabillion]

I wonder if any of the games featured are hints about the guise of Frog Fractions 2?

Prince of Persia, Gradius, Deal or No Deal clones?

It seems a little obvious, but in hindsight so does 0451!

Prince of persia

Looks like an Apple IIGS

The game itself is a cracked version, cracked by "The Crasher" as seen on the following site, and confirmed as being the cracked version on the video here: https://imgur.com/ysXwidE

Could be another dead end, but could also be a lead.

So, are there any unsolved mysteries left? Besides the purpose of the video, that is.
