So I was at the movies escorting my little sister and her friends (11 years old), and they have this section off in the corner with arcade games/claw machines. After the movie ended, we go on over to see what games there were to play. They had no interest in such classics like Time Crisis 3, and even though I was showing off my mad skills, they wanted "stuffed animals" instead. Of course, I give them each a quarter to have their go at it (4 were there, so a buck total.. no harm done in the wallet.) Each of them fail, and they get really sad.. like this one girl was on the verge of tears. I give them each another quarter. They fail again. Dear lord. I told them to move out of the way, and asked them what stuffed animal they wanted. They all agreed on the walrus. Welp, 5 dollars later, I get them the walrus!
And that is my first claw machine victory.
