beat the crane game...!

Glaine:
Unless you were to tweak the machine to play right, in which case it is your machine and you have nothign really to win from it.

You could put your shirts and ties in there, would make an interesting story for why you were late to work. At least the first time it happens.


And to quote a song by Lemon Demon:
"From SomethingAwful on to Fark, with his trusty Watermark, he stole it all and stuck it on EBaum's World.com"

As W.C.Fields said:  "Never give a sucker and even break"

Of course they're like a slot machine..... LOL What did you think, maybe that arcade operators were going to give the toys away?? LOL  :cheers: You don't get nothing for nothing in this world.

Man, I can't believe that!  I just always thought you had to have some skill to win those things.  I'm so naive...

DarkBubble:
That explains why I managed to snag three in a row one day and never again.  After a handful of losses, I know when to quit a machine.  That's why one trip to the slots was enough for me.

On another note, among all the cutesy toys in a crane machine outside Wal-Mart, I once saw a Chucky doll.  I wish I'd had a digital camera back then.

I've thought they might be just a little rigged, but I felt the same way.
I kept waiting for the model where the claw tips invert the oposite direction once you get the toy in the air to really push you over the edge.
