The Santa CLAW! Live Claw Machine - Crane Game!

Honestly, I would get frustrated with how the pause is happening at night, and harder to plan my time but each time I begin getting frustrated, I stop and think...they're doing this for us, free for us to enjoy. I missed my turn earlier, I was bummed. I shouldn't have stopped to talk. But I just told myself 'eff it, I'm getting back in line again!'

As much as its an experience for us internet users, it's also an experience for the gallery it's sitting at and the visitors who are checking it out in person.

Hey everyone!

Big Mike went on an excursion yesterday to go visit The Santa Claw and our friends at Real Art Design Group! The Big Man was actually at The Santa Claw while I was playing, and I even won him a ball! Check out the pics below from his visit, which includes both my side of the screen and him at the Claw, and the video even includes shots from INSIDE The Santa Claw and an interview with Real Art Design Groups awesome dudes Pat Murray and Justin Dunham.

Check it out....

Here's the video from my screen when I won Big Mike the ball:

So Robb was playing the Santa Claw while Big Mike was at the Santa Claw watching Robb play the Santa Claw while watching Big Mike at the Santa Claw?

I think my brain just exploded a little bit. But it was worth it!

I finally got in line, only 13 more hours to go!!

Leave it to gizmodo the screw things up. I knew as soon as I saw sponsorship, it was all over. So sad they allow this. The Santa Claw is dead.

Sorry, but I totally disagree. I think if you're playing the "claw" to seriously win a ball or something else, seriously, you're taking the whole thing way too, well, seriously.

I see what you're saying Robb, but when you repeatedly see the claw successfully pick up a wrapped box only to have a guy holding a beer reach in and swat it out before it can be dropped in the chute, and then give the middle finger to the camera, you can't help but feel frustrated. If they're staging this as a contest for publicity, and sending out actual prizes, they shouldn't allow people to interfere like that.

^That's really obnoxious. Hopefully he is shown the door quickly.

What's going to happen is the few bad apples are just going to ruin it for the people that were climbing in the machine for fun and even helping. This is pretty much what happens to EVERYTHING IN LIFE.

People are disgusting. The Santa Claw is good.

I agree with you that the person doing that IS obnoxious, and it shouldn't be allowed, but if it bothers you that much, stop playing the game. It's as simple as that.

I've played like 8 times this week and I had one game where my video didn't work and one game where that guy got in the way of my winnings...but you know what? I managed to have FUN with it every time.

Yes, I was bummed when that guy the other night knocked the ball I was about to win out of the way, but did it REALLY bother me? No, instead I went for the guy and tried to grab him!

You are in control of the world's largest claw....you have the upper hand! ATTACK THE DUDES!!!!!!

I saw that guy too! He also swatted away another ball. Them some other dude got in the claw and hit the camera with a ball. Idiots ruining the fun that is the Santa Claw.

Wow, that's pretty rude. I think swatting the balls away is ok, because the player wouldn't get it anyways, and a lot seem to get thrown back in by people in the gallery, but dropping a wrapped prize actually gets you something, so having some idiot take that away from you would be a huge bummer. And it's something that could have been so easily prevented too.
