Angry_Gumball Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hour and 13 minutes for me. I'm sure Robb is not that far ahead of me, but far enough to not be in sight. Looks like I'll get the first game in tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megalyte Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Is anyone else's video not working? It was working for me until about an hour ago. I hope it works when it's (hopefully) my turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmichellex Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just played finally! No prize for me though, I suck at this thing! Â Also, the live stream hadn't been working for me either for the last few hours, but the game still played ok. The only thing I noticed was that there were still 6 minutes on the clock counting down to play even though it was actually my turn, so make sure you're at your computer close to your playing time so you don't miss it (time may be slightly off)!

Angry_Gumball Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Bummer, missed. The player just before me picked up a present (not sure what was in it), therefore mainly being just primarily balls available. I tried for a giant purple ball only to miss. Back in line I go! Now I'm next to JRay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Here's a fun little update from the actual Santa Claw! TPR's own Renee (nay) was visiting her home town of NYC and went by the Gizmodo Gallery to check out the claw, and get a little behind the scenes look at one of TPR's favorite "time wasters!" Check out the photos, some videos, and then a video of me playing the claw...where I won a real, live HUMAN BEING!!!  Enjoy the update, and send a huge thanks to Renee for the photos!  Info about the Gizmodo Gallery: 329 Broome Street. New York, NY, 10002 http://gizmodo.com/5857474/gizmodo-gallery-2011-here-we-go-again  To play the Santa Claw: http://www.thesantaclaw.com  VIdeos:  Robb plays the Santa Claw....and grabs a MAN!!!  Check out The Santa Claw in action from Renee's visit to the Gizmodo Gallery! The Gizmodo Gallery is a display of some of the coolest gadgets and techy stuff, and this year, they have brought in The Santa Claw to be on display! (We see you Santa Claw in the background!) As soon as you walk in the door of the gallery, you can see it! To get an idea of just how GIANT The Santa Claw is - watch the video above where there is a guy INSIDE The Santa Claw!!! There it is on display! Theme Park Review members waiting thousands of hours in line and played hundreds of games on The Santa Claw when it was introduced earlier this year! (Yes, I'm making up those numbers, but I'm sure it's not far from the truth!) The concept is simple. It's a giant claw game. You control the claw from home on your computer via the internet. Move the giant claw around to grab balls... Here's a closeup of the balls you try to grab... And if you are lucky enough to grab one, they drop down this chute! Certain balls are given to the people visiting the gallery, and they take home the winnings, but other balls and presents, if you grab them, are yours to KEEP! They'll contact you and send you your prize...TOTALLY FOR FREE!!!! It's Clawesome!!! Let's take a closer look at the claw, shall we? The guys from Real Art explained how the system works. There is a screen that keeps track of everyone who has played, and all the winnings to date. When the item comes out the chute, it registers what the item is, and triggers the system for the user to input their contact information. A few weeks later, if they've grabbed a special prize, it arrives in the mail. The top of the claw is completely open, so it's easier to throw balls back inside. A look inside the claw! There are several computer screens set up to track the scores. You can also see what everyone is chatting about! I see some TPR people currently waiting in line! Try to get people reading the monitor to wave at the webcam! Awww...A live shout out to Renee...while she's at The Santa Claw! I swear this is exactly what the internet was created for! Awww....poor deflated ball. Now it's someone's turn! Go for the Santa Present!!! There they go... The claw opens and gets ready to grab... Someone's having a ball-grabbin' good time! WE'VE GOT BALLS!!! The claw drags your balls over to the chute... Almost there! Looks like your balls are finally about to drop! BALLS IN THE HOLE!!!! And there are your balls...on display! The Santa Claw was designed by Real Art Design Group in Dayton, Ohio! The characters they designed were amazing! Simply, yet clawesome! Here is my "girl" character. Normally I wear a sexy wifebeater, but I'm cute no matter what my attire. The Santa Claw is part of the Gizmodo Gallery from Dec 6th - 11th. I really hope this isn't the last time we see the Claw in action! Elissa is partial to the penguin character. Don't you want to grab some balls? Click the link at the top of the page to get in line for The Santa Claw! And while you're in line, send shout outs to the people at the Gizmodo Gallery! They can see what you're writing to them, and maybe you can interact and get them to wave at you while you watch the live video feed! Thank you very much to Real Art Design Group and the Gizmodo Gallery for giving us a special look at The Santa Claw! And thank you Renee for the awesome photos! Grab some more balls for us!!!  (ps. Speaking of gadgets, all the photos in this udpate were taken with an awesome iPhone 4s!) Edited December 8, 2011 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't gotten to play yet, but hopefully tomorrow night I will. Or maybe Friday. Or Saturday. It is really fun just watching it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
