UFO Failing

There’s an arcade in Sydney, not far from Central Station, with a large amount of Print Club and UFO Catcher machines. It rivals some of those seen in Japan. I spent a few dollars trying to win some cute goods for KLS, and here’s a video of one such attempt.

If the link didn’t work, here’s a photo of the item I was trying to win.

My approach may have seemed strange. I was going for the ’tilt approach’ – rather than pick up the item and carry it over the bin, I was trying to get under one side and angle it right over the edge. I was *very* close (It was at about 90 degrees when it fell back).

In order, from top left:
– I didn’t win 🙁
– AMP (aka Centerpoint) Tower, Sydney. (I didn’t go up)
– a Saint Adrew’s Cross spider, found in it’s web in the back of a truck
– one of the University of New South Wales resident cats
– your guess is as good as mine!
– “I (space invader) AF”

This last shot is a request of sorts:

Is A$120 (about US$118) too much to pay for that gigantic Geroro?

More Food

I’m in Newcastle now, and may make an attempt to eat like a normal human for a while (ie. not incessant junk). That said, I surely had my fill during the week in Sydney!
