Damn, I'm in this place with a scientist who just gets killed by this big
green pecking giraffe thing and a Barney.... I've thrown all the grenades
at it but it won't die... There's a door below but everytime I run for it
the green thing kills me... I'm stuck, what do I do????  Help!!!!!

You're facing one of the coolest puzzles in HL - easiest thing to do is
take the crowbar (yes, really) and run at the goddamn pecking giraffe.
If you move fast enough, you can get it right between the eyes, which
should stun it long enough for you to get to the door. It might take a
few tries before you get it right, but stick with it, CF...

No, no, no!!! Have you tried pulling your trousis down and stunning him that
way? This also works on those sizzling green guys that turn out to be
friends of yours and who think that killing you will make you larf. Or
something.

Works a treat

I find I can never get a really good swing behind a small tablet... much
prefer a crowbar..

This is in the original Half Life, right ? If you pop a grenade in the hole
where the thing comes out of the ground it seems to stun it just about long
enough for you to get to the next door, if you are real quick. Then there is
a long section of exploring before you can work all the switches so you can
go back and fire the rocket motor, which actually kills it.

Some folk just head straight for the 'so easy it's almost cheating
option' straight away.  Crowbar is the only way to beat this fair and square

...(besides, didn't CF say he'd used all his grenades?)

Stuns it?  Shows you didn't pay attention in Pecking Giraffes class.
