ahecht Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 THEY BROKE THE CLAW! Â The claw almost grabbed one of the guys, he swatted it away, and broke the cable that lifts the claw. Â EDIT: Fixed it. Â Okay, I've been watching this much too closely. Time for a break.
robbalvey Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Looks like it's the Gizmodo guys who are tweeing and stuff from inside the claw! Â https://twitter.com/#!/gizgallery/status/145222749999218689/photo/1 Â Looks like it's this guy inside the claw: https://twitter.com/#!/joemfbrown
DougMJr Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Looks like I'm not going to be able to play today, as I have 10hrs to go  But I have tomorrow off so hopefully I don't lose connection like last night.

Even if you do, make sure you log in with Facebook. Seems to be the fool-proof way to get back in line if you lose your connection.
scott2608 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 wow there was a malfunction with the claw on my turn just now so they gave me a win.

Popcorn54 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I think it's awesome seeing Big Mike on the Live screen! Bad Screen shot but It was pretty cool to see him talking to someone live

chadster Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 So now we know why they live feed is broken at the moment, thanks Big Mike  That was cool tho, I'm anti NYC, but for the claw and the 9/11 Memorial, I'd made an exception.
chadster Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Refreshed and dumped cache, still el blanko for me. I'll try when I get home, if they pause at 11pm, I won't get to play again until 1pm tomorrow anyway. Â edit: stupid government firewall, glad I can fix that, the feed is back in all it's glory. Edited December 10, 2011 by chadster

aimster Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 OMG I love it! Yay Big Mike! Â I've played this a few times but either can't grab anything or I grab it and get denied at the last moment. Story of my life.
robbalvey Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Don't forget that there are only TWO more days to play The Santa Claw until its gone forever again... Â http://www.thesantaclaw.com
Angry_Gumball Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 A quick update, I somewhat figured out my controls with it but here she is in all of her clawesome greatness! Ok, maybe not as clawesome as the real deal but this looks pretty cool actually. Â 3 hours to go, though I won't make it tonight to play...bummer!
eddie200330 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I have been stuck at 39 minutes for almost 30 minutes. It seems to be really sluggish on the comments and scrolling. Also I can't get the video to play???
cfc Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 ^They were having trouble logging me in a few minutes ago--maybe the queue is too full.
DougMJr Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Arrgh! My dad went on my desktop and exited my window! Â 13hrs for me, I was down to 1! Â EffML.
megalyte Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I'm at 8 hours and I think the claw broke. It hasn't moved for about half an hour and the line is staying the same length.
