Quantcast



Looking for a way to impress that special lady in your life? Well, maybe after watching this video, she'll be awed by your 1337 claw skills and give up that snatch like her life depended on it. Thanks to Braniac (that show on G4 that doesn't suck), now you can pwn that stupid claw and victory shall be yours ... forever! Pretty soon you'll be swimming in stuffed animals and cheap watches.

Sounds like you guys dont get the new seasons of Brainic. Dw it was just more big boobed girls + more explosions + more of that geek Jon with glasses that every1 in my class used to say I looked like

I wasn't aware that these machines were set up like this. Good to know, I guess.

You wouldn't say that if it was some form of golden mario statue or game character you loved!

Every show on G4 sucks. Even shows that would normally be good on other channels still suck when they have that horrid "G4" watermark on them.

If you're not sure yet, I flat out despise everything about G4.

Please let this channel completely die already!

I love Braniac.

I want them to release DVDs of this. I would love to have it in my collection.

G4 might suck hard but they air Arrested Development and that is their only saving grace.

I was hoping it would be a simple button combo or something.

Ok Wailing Alien thats enough! Where are you getting this never ending source of constant humour (humor) from? Some kind of bitchin fountain?

Sweet news, because I have all day to sit around an arcade to count how many people win and lose so I can get a sure shot at a Dollar Store Puppy.

So, I grew up in the coin-operated amusement industry, and I thought I'd share a little insight on the subject of cranes. Now, I'm not sure how this works in other states, I can tell you with 100% assurance that cranes like the ones shown in the video are illegal in the state of California. Any crane that has some kind of mechanism that makes the game easier or harder based on the skill level of the player changes the nature of the game from skill to gambling and is therefore outlawed by California state legislation. Just a quick fyi.

I believe coldice101 on this. Can't believe Brainiac. I like Richard Hammond when he does Top Gear but never understood why he does that Brainiac thing.

Brainiac, is there nothing Richard Hammond can't do well?
Justice's Avatar - Comment posted on 01/03/2007 18:03

Rbj, one thing he can't do well is drive a supercar. He's lucky he got out of that crash and made it

I'll forget your stupid name for a second, but you've never been to Japan, have you?

There are those kinds of sextoy claw games in Japan but usually only at a porn shop.

This video is making me want to try it out next time I'm in Tokyo because claw games here actually have cool stuff in them.

I have a friend at a local arcade that will sell me the plush toy for $2 or $3.... I got a Sonic, Knuckles, Mario and Luigi that sold at Ebay. Sometimes they put this round hardplastic cases with $100 dollar bills inside and you wouldnt believe how many suckers try to win it and it just fall off the claw... Lol I bet they have added weight inside the plastic capsule.
