This weekend I was in Ocean City. While on the boardwalk i decided to try out a crane game filled with expensive stuff like DS's. After 6 tries i fucking got it!!! I paid only $6 bucks for a DS Lite!! The people all around were shocked and I was just like WOOOOOOO!!!!

I won a blue DS Lite after 6 tries on a crane game!!

Congratulations. I'm jealous. But I can't believe you kept going even after losing until you won it, which was coincidentally only the 6th try. Nice!

"dude if you saw how perfectly positioned it was to be grabbed you would have kept trying too. besides, i brought a ton of money to blow on the boardwalk so what the heck ya kno. @Dethfish77 said:
"i was on a decent boardwalk i guess. those machines are set to rarely let people win though. so i must have been extremely lucky to have walked up to it at just the right time.What kind of crane machine has DS's in it and how the hell did you get one?! I tried 6 times for an awesome velcro wallet once. Sadly, I didn't get it.

Man, I've never won anything that awesome, much less in one of those asshole crane machines. Hope you use your DS wisely. If you ever need help finding games, just go here.
Congratulations. I've played crane machines before, but could only win at the ones with stuffed animals.
that is awesome. I can envision you frantically reaching for more money, then bam... shitting bricks once it actually fell! lol
I haven't bothered with these in ages... for a while I didn't realise how fixed they were.

Well done, though.
" Pics or didn't happen. "I'm thinking about making a reenactment video. It will be awesome.
"Pics or didn't happen."
Just think if your parents would have said that, we wouldn't be in this situation. :P
Dude. I remember when I won my DS. It was this game called Craigslist. Got it for $60. And a game for $20 (the one only cheap people know of...hint - hint).
Anyways, yes, get Elite Beat Agents, any Castlevania game, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Zelda, The World Ends With You, and any Mario platformer.
Awesome. I would have assumed they would calibrate the grip to make sure it couldn't hold anything.
Like MB said you might want to consider picking up Elite Beat Agents. That was the game that made me go out and buy a DS.
" Congrats, those things are rigged though so only X amount of times after X number of customers will it give you the right grip. "yeah, and then its absolutely luck if there happens to be one you can actually manage to grab and not slip. the odds must have been pretty insane.
" You play crane games ? ? Hahahaha...... "
