Just when you think this place can't be any more helpful and useful...something like this comes along.

The VO-BB is a one-stop shop! Thanks Todd!

Todd,

Now that is very interesting and valuable information. At least 2 of my kids are still of an age where this could come in really handy. Thank you.

Only a guy would devise strategies and make a video on how to win at the claw machine. The Hunter/Gatherer showing through in us I guess. This video is great! It is the simple things that make life so great. Winning a little bear for a child = awesome.

Thanks for posting this Todd.

What I like is that this is an important part of Men's Health!

I'm being serious, by the way.

Worked fine for me in Firefox. Weird.

I used to service a couple of video arcades as a side job. One of things you learn is how to pack the prizes in these machines so it's harder for "marks" to grab them.

You little devil, Brian... YOU did that, and made it hard for all of us poor souls to get the Brian from Family Guy doll? <sigh> I'm glad you don't have that job any longer.

Seriously, I'm sending this video to the hubby so he can win me a prize next time we see one of these!!

(Totally OT: Dave Houston - did you see Family Guy the other night? Stewie was HILARIOUS with the "... little Lamisil monster..." line!!!!!!!)

Sorry to be the pooty parper here, but I would have been a whole lot more impressed if I could have seen him do that like 3 or 4 times in a row instead of seeing the same purple-bear-snatch seven times.... I mean show me the quarters!

d00d--that was 1:59 i did NOT have to spare.

but .... i have a couple of Qs. like, why DID he grab the "ugly" bear to which he referred earlier in that riveting piece?

why did he then take out of the dispenser two entirely different stuffed animals?

and finally, while he was eyeing the presumably more expensive major league baseball toy, he still snatched the purple bear (allegedly). why?

frankly, i'm not sure how i'll get through the rest of the day with these mysteries on my mind.

but uh thanks anyway, todd. you da man.
