There’s something creepy about the classic "claw game" when the prize you’re after is a live lobster. This machine was spotted in Osaka, Japan, but they have them here in the U.S. as well. I suppose the end result is the same for the lobster, but turning it into an arcade game lends a Russian Roulette aspect to the process, which just wouldn’t sit well with me. (And who brings a cooler or bucket to an arcade anyway?) These kinds of machines are apparently somewhat common in Asia.
