# STRANGER THINGS PREMIUM PINBALL GAMEPLAY PROJECTOR REVEAL! **Source:** Dead Flip **Type:** video **Published:** 2020-01-17 **Duration:** 88m 6s **Beat:** Pinball **URL:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A2_bKn6sbg --- ## Analysis Jack Danger and Stern Pinball team members (Mike Vinacore, Brian Eddy) livestream gameplay of Stranger Things Premium pinball, showcasing three major Premium Edition features: a hidden projector system that projects effects onto playfield surfaces, a telekinesis lock magnet that physically grabs and holds balls on the back panel, and a Demogorgon shaker motor. The stream includes extensive rules explanation covering mode starts, multiball mechanics, Demogorgon spelling, and multiple wizard modes (Total Isolation, Season modes, Final Showdown), with emphasis on how the projector enhances gameplay in normal arcade/home lighting conditions. ### Key Claims - [HIGH] The projector is hidden under the arch and projects onto multiple playfield surfaces including the back panel — _Brian Eddy explains: 'The projector is hidden under the arch here. You don't even know it's there, and it's projecting onto all sorts of surfaces.' Projector location confirmed as 'in the apron, literally above the left flipper.'_ - [HIGH] The telekinesis lock on Premium Edition grabs balls and holds them on back panel: 1 ball first time, 2 balls second time, 3 balls third time — _Brian Eddy: 'when you make the left ramp, instead of just being a virtual lock, it will actually grab the ball and throw it up on the back panel. Not once, but twice for the second ball and three times for the third ball.'_ - [HIGH] Demogorgon mode is spelled using teal insert stand-ups spelling D-E-M-O-G-O-R-G-O-N — _Mike Vinacore: 'The Demogorgon modes are started by spelling Demogorgon with the teal insert stand-ups there's D-E-M-O-G-O-R-G-O-N are behind the drops'_ - [HIGH] There are at least 5 Demogorgon modes in the game — _During gameplay discussion: 'So the second, is the second Demogorgon still a multiball? Yes. Awesome.' Later confirmed 'there's five Demogorgon modes'_ - [HIGH] Wizard modes include Total Isolation (after one set of 4 story modes), another after 8 story modes, and two final ones (Season One/Two/Final Showdown) — _Mike Vinacore: 'you get a wizard mode for playing one four story modes and then also again for eight story modes and then you get the two big ones at the end... season one season two and then a final showdown'_ - [HIGH] The Upside Down event happens randomly and features projector effects with a hurry-up to shoot drop targets before time runs out — _Mike Vinacore: 'The upside down happens at random. When the upside down, the screen goes blank, and we've got some cool projector effects on top of it... There's a hurry up right now. The hurry up is shoot the four drop targets before the time runs out'_ - [HIGH] Projector can be individually mapped and adjusted for scale, rotation, and alignment but brightness cannot be changed — _Discussion of controls: 'you can move it, you can adjust the different surfaces but you cannot change the brightness. No, but there is, like, scale, rotation, all that fun stuff'_ - [HIGH] David Harbour recorded extensive call-outs for the game — _Jack Danger: 'That is David Harbour doing the call-out. There's a lot more. There's a lot more? Hell yeah. Yeah, he recorded a lot of stuff for us.'_ ### Notable Quotes > "It's something you've never seen before in pinball.

Sandwich, sandwich. Everything sounds good? Excellent. All right. Mike Vinikour, Brian Eddy, programming rules and stuff, and the designer. We did this once before, but now we're going to show you the premium with the projector. And on top of that, okay, just to prove a point, I'm going to cut to my phone and show you how freaking bright it is in here. okay okay thank you peanut gallery i appreciate it um you gentlemen have some stuff to say we do you want to show them the room first and then we'll and brian can take them through the differences of a hundred percent here i'm gonna give you this mic you hold that check this out internet okay hold on how do i how do i do this i don't know you tell us you're the you're the wizard yeah i am the fm wizard all right custom rtmp that goes live okay stop stop texting me this is danger if this is not a good time yeah please you know what f you i'll show it to you later I don't know why that just froze. Do you want to try one more time? Yeah, we're going to try it one more time. Oh, it's because I'm using, I was hooked to a thing that I shouldn't have been using. Ah. Sorry, Internet. I was hooked to a thing I shouldn't have been using. The NSA got them. Yeah, sorry. Cops. This is compelling. Just do the. All right. Brian, why don't you walk them through the differences of the play field here versus the pro? Yeah, sure, Mike. As Jack said, you know, there's obviously a lot of controversy over some of the features on this premium, so we kind of wanted to just show you it in live how awesome it really is. If you're outside playing pinball in the bright sun, may not be the brightest. But if you're anywhere else where you'd normally play a pinball, in an arcade, in your house, at normal ambient lighting, it looks awesome. You will not be disappointed. It's something you've never seen before in pinball. So that is obviously the first big feature of the Pro versus the Premium is the projector. It's hidden under the arch here. You don't even know it's there, and it's projecting onto all sorts of surfaces, as you're going to see in a few minutes. We're just going to give you a little sneak peek today of some of the cool things we're doing. We've got a lot more content, a lot more cool things coming. So that's one of the big differences that you're going to notice, and it's totally going to stand out from any other pinball that you've seen. The second one is the telekinesis lock. This is themed around Alice telekinesis powers from the show. And now when you make the left ramp, instead of just being a virtual lock, it will actually grab the ball and throw it up on the back panel. Not once, but twice for the second ball and three times for the third ball. All three of them will be stuck to that back panel. And they will stay there if you're playing multiplayers as long as they need to until somebody gets multiball. So it's a really cool effect. I haven't seen it before. I think you guys are really gonna love it. And then the third one is a little bit smaller But it still adds a lot of flavor to the game is we have a shaker on the Demogorgon We just started implementing that you're gonna see he's gonna start getting more aggressive and start growling back at you So you're really gonna start feeling like you're in a battle So those are the three big features and I think they really add to the whole game and pulling you into it and there's also some informational things and the rules and stuff that enhance with the projector and and with the telekinesis lock. And, Mike, that's a good segue for you to jump in, talk a little about the rules. So for the benefit of those of you that didn't watch the Pro Stream, I'll just give you a very, very quick version of my rundown of the different features of the game in the rules. All the modes are started on the four main shots, and they have three inserts each. It takes three shots to start a mode. The modes start on the fly. So you make three ramp shots, you start a mode there. You make three orbit shots, you start one there. The two stand-ups right here on either side of the left ramp will light lock. Locks are up on the left ramp and that's when the TK lock, the magnet grabs it. During the multiball, all the jackpots are lit. You have to make five jackpots and when you do, super jackpot is lit at the left saucer. While that's lit, lock will be lit on the left ramp. You can lock on the premium model, you can lock two balls up on the magnet. The first one will make a double super, the second one will make a triple super and when you put them up there, it's a timed lock if you don't get it if you don't collect the super in time the balls release you're back to 1x but you can still re-lock them before you collect um how does that help you mike how does that how does that help you how does which help you oh well it doubles and triples your super and then it gets those balls out of the way which gives you you know in a three ball multiball you've got a one ball left on the play field to freely pick up the thing without the other ones getting in your way so l helps you in that mode by holding the two balls for you or one or two the demo dog modes are started by spelling demo dog with the teal insert stand-ups there's d-e-m-n-o are behind the drops and then dog is over here and then it started over here in the left inner lane which is also where you collect your extra ball and where you collect the mystery award mystery is lit by the four inlanes here and you can lane change either direction the demo gorgon mode is spelled there's words on the screen and up on the upper screen too you spell it it's The first one requires two completions of the target bank. Then they'll stay down. You shoot up the middle. The ramp comes down. You battle Demogorgon. All the story modes already went over. And then when you complete one of each story mode on each of the main four shots, you get total isolation. That's the first mini wizard mode. When you do it a second time, a second set of four, you get another one. Later on, when you finish all the story modes and other stuff, there's other wizard modes coming soon. I occasionally get tossed into the upside down. Yes, upside down happens at random. Thank you. I knew I was forgetting something, and that was it. When the upside down, the screen goes blank, and we've got some cool projector effects on top of it you'll get to see. And there's a hurry up right now. The hurry up is shoot the four drop targets before the time runs out, and it's worth some pretty big points. I think that pretty much covers it. So let's jump in. Before you do this, I just want to show you all what's going on here. We finally got it working. So, this is... Hi, Mike. Hello. This is the room we're in right now. Eh? Eh? This room is way brighter than my office is, which you filmed in the other day for the little teaser. All right. All right, shall we play?

We have a closer look at the apron? Sure, I can probably show you with my cell phone. Yeah, I can probably give you guys a shot, a look with my cell phone here in a second. Monsters love to eat balls. True. Where's Jeffrey Star? He's in the snow. He's a snow bunny right now. I think he's in Ohio? All right. Sorry for the technical difficulty there. Did you get it? I got it. Oh, no. But I lost my ball. I was told you need to talk louder when you're talking. Well, I'm out from behind. Yeah, I'm not from behind. You can't talk from behind. Yeah. All right. All right. So, next. Be back. Salud. What's up, podcast? Yep. Oh, yeah. Watch out, Max. I don't know what you're doing. He ended my book. I call him Mully. We'll just keep going. Now you're killing your ball, Brian. That was yours. We may have to start this whole thing over. Yeah, let's start this whole thing over. We all had a horrible first ball that day. Alright, close this guy back up. Yeah, sorry I was late, Internet. I was trying to nail this green screen thing down. I think it looks okay, but it's a little fuzzy. And sometimes the focus... What is it there for? The focus feels kind of weird on the green screen. Alright, I'm in Ohio. Will Jeffrey come to my... do my makeup? Yes. This game is for real. Okay, this is for all the marbles. I was told if I break the game again, I'm fired. So here we go. Let's try that again. Just don't screw me, game. Boing, boing. No! Okay, I'm all right. Oh, no. Oh, please. You son of a bitch. I did worse that ball. Yeah. I can't do much worse, so this is a good restart for me. You're saying that now. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's true. We were doing a stream that long ago, and I was like, this is one of the longest balls I've ever had. And as soon as I said that, I drained. Yeah, the game heard me. I'll show you. Somebody played too long, did they? Yeah. Super skill shot, Christian Martin? there is another skill set in there besides that and there might be another one coming there will be an MXV secret skill shot at some point in a future software update Flower. That's it. I'm out. We're out. We're out. Will you work something? Yeah. Thank you, Flower. Carnivore. Double flip. I'm small. I'm small. Player three is up. Yeah, Internet, how sick are those drop targets, man? Hey, look at that. They're smart. So you see how the drop target goes down and came back up and it doesn't have the letter on it anymore? Yeah, because he got the eye. Nice. Nice pump there, Johnny. Good job. player four it's a risk you're up about my ground control shirt oh yeah yeah the ball got caught there on the ground control in october when i was out in portland for the portland center of the place portland retro game expo is your camera a little bit off nope okay use your foot to slide that leg just a little bit to the left a little bit more a little bit more a little bit more a little bit more like go like go that's wrong you'll get a big there you go perfect oh jeez oh jeez that could have been ugly very midwest of you oh jeez There we go. There's TK Locke right there. Hanging on the back. Internet, can you see that? Probably not. There you go. Here, I'll do it so that it's up a little bit. You're going to get a little of the back last there, but you can see the ball trapped. Player one. You see it? It's right there. Oh, is this me? Hey, y'all just, y'all playing quick. Y'all playing quick. All right, here we go. Y'all sucking, dude. Awesome, it stays. Yeah. Actually, all three get caught there, which is pretty sick. Did you already kill a demigrave? I did not. Yeah. Yep. Why do you miss the ball? Okay, I love you. Again, internet, here's the problem. Here's the problem with me streaming and playing these games at the same time, dog. I'm more worried about... I don't give a fuck. This happened last time. You came back. It was okay. It'll just take a couple of warm-up games. It's a warm-up. Jack, calm down. Can you see the back panel now, Jack? I dropped it back. I'm just going to give you a little bit of DMV. I'm back. Okay. Although it's not really a DMV anymore. Wow. That's true. Thank you Player 3 is up That skill shot is just random, right? It's not. You gotta hit the moving arrow. Oh, okay. But you can't select anything. Correct. These rubbers are about to erupt. Oh, Jody's about to bust up. This game is set up like hitting that. When it comes out of the scoop thing, it hits the sling. You see that? Yeah. See that? Jody's right. Mark that down. Jody's right. But no, like when it comes out of that thing, it hits the slingshot. It shouldn't do that. It should go right to the flipper. so maybe maybe it's just me alright mate come on I gotta make up for that I gotta make up for that horrible first ball There we go. multiball. And I started a mode. All right, now I need five jackpots in it. I have to like the super. Four. Three. Two. Uh-oh. All kids love to fool. Really? That was it? I got halfed. That was it? I got screwed.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't know Mike was talking. What's going on over here? Just do that. Can I go? The upside down happens randomly out of nowhere. Correct. Hold on. I'm trying to get to the... There it is. So check this out. I'm going to show the balls. No, you can't change the amount, how often the upside down happens. But if you do put it in competition mode, it will come out at the same rate for everybody. My immersion. Player four. This is what happens when you get old, Internet. You have to wear glasses to read everything, but you can't wear them when you play pinball. My immersion. Or walk around or drive. No, you can't steal a ball. It'll remember virtually, so it physically will steal them, but not virtually. There you go. Yeah, it'll physically steal them, but not virtually. It didn't catch the ball because there were two up there, but it knows that I only locked one ball before that. Nice balls. Oh, wow. I didn't want to use that mystery. I was trying to hit the lock. Mystery. I got to relight it. But I can increase jackpot. Can I bother you for one second? I'm just standing right here. I can't let these guys move. No. Mike, keep going. I can't. That's great. I suck. Internet, watch this. Sorry, Internet. I think Jack's beating you. Probably. I think so. You beat me that one. That's the last one I'm going to have. Use the horse. I'm trying to be... Hi, Internet! This is... Anyway, too late. Thanks, my dude. I'm too small. I guess. You got to stuff it up. Yeah. I need a couple of warm-up games. Jack trolling. They see me rolling. All right, brother. Thank you. Can someone please reverse time on it? Wait. Oh, I won. Yeah, that thing's going away. We're changing that. Alright. Four player again? Yeah, let's do it. Player one is up. Player one is butt. And there's that. What's a close game? It ain't fun if it ain't close. Yeah, this room is lit so much brighter than what Jack did in my office on Monday. Yep. Yeah. I did this to just sort of prove a point, ladies and gentlemen. We could make it pitch black in here if we wanted. I need to stop acting so old, but I am also old. Yo, Frank, thank you, bud. I can't help it. Okay. Better bet. You effing... Oops. All right. I can follow that. That's player two. You're off. Your LE number 374 is shipping very soon. Very, very soon. Try that again. the controls you have over the projector are um individually mapping every surface if you want to like realign it i think yeah you can move it you can adjust the different surfaces but you cannot change the brightness. No, but there is, like, scale, rotation, all that fun stuff to, like, really dial in the projector for yourself. There you go. There you go. Ron Book, your alley is being built very, very, very soon as well. Probably on the same day as number 374. I will put in your request to the proper authorities. No, you say tomorrow would be best. Yeah. Nice. The projector's in the apron, literally above the left flipper. I want to see. Oh, there's that multiball. multiball. Mode and multiball. What one says. Right now, the upside-down awards are hurry-ups, so the faster you hit those drop targets, the more they'll be worth. now obviously the internet's going to point this out but you can see here like this surface also you can individually map so this would just have to be slid like a couple pixels to the right to map that w on there get it i think the flippers pick up a little bit of the projector but not a lot because it really was designed to shine over them you know what i don't i think the ball definitely does at a point Yeah, I don't see it on the Clippers. Yeah. The bonus multiplier happens for every other completion of the four return lanes. So one time we'll spell mystery, then the next one will give you the bonus multiplier. Time is up. Time is up. Good job. Oh! All right, so you're up. That was a monster ball. Player three. Why is your screen all pink? Player three, you're up. I remember that. All right. Oh, sure. I'll do it, Brian. I won't let you down. If you promise me an In-N-Out Burger gift card, then I really come to life. And then I'll kick this game's ass. Can you guys stop shoving the freaking game around, please? Next time when you're in one of these streams, I'm going to bolt the effing game to the floor. I'm going to have to get Zach's rubber feet things for the trip. Leg levelers trip. Because this is a very slippery floor. Mike, don't let me down. All right, I'll do what I can. When do you get the game? All right, well, this is exciting. Yeah. I gotta turn on like auto focus or manual focus and all this. No! God damn it, Mike. You had one job, bro. What? Drain it, drain it, drain it. The game felt sorry for me. Lonnie lock. I might not have had talent playing until that. Thanks, Lonnie. I love you. So we're going to lock a ball right here. Oh, come on. I keep rattling them up. Jody, I don't need your color commentary, my friend. Believe. God damn it. All right, everybody shut up. Mike, what the F are you doing, Mike? I'm too close. I'm going to get punched.

Control it. No! Grace period, I love you. Okay. Cool, 16. Okay. Oh, we don't need any more locks. Yeah, Flynn, I was so used to the pro that when I shifted over to start working on this thing, I'd always forget and try to backhand the lock, and I couldn't do it. Let me miss, like, two more times. You just rattle it up there just like me. Yeah, what a guy. so he said that i wanted to move the game you did move the game and that might be shut up is there always a random amount of switches the upside down is just random just random yeah well i got the demogorgon ready wait i'm still winning what's going on the only reason why i was rejecting him is because we were rattling balls all the way up. They weren't going up there clean. They were chattering back and forth. Step this back a little bit. Alright, here we go. The Mugler are really good. Can you feel loss? No. Visually?

This game's leaning left, dog. For the record, when I did used to drink, all I ever drank was Corona. Whenever it was a bourbon or a hard liquor. Oh, shit, I saw this dude cranking on some White Claws earlier. Player four. I know you're not trying to use White Claw, but it is all the rage these days. Now you believe it's about the lean? You should. Yeah, it's true. Sorry, Internet. It's not that I didn't believe you. It's that I don't believe you. The only reason why I look stoned is because I'm tired all the damn time. For real. I would tell you guys about a stone. Especially now. It's legal here. I think you're a cop, dude. It's legal here. You can't get arrested now. Oh, right. Oh, White Claw Mike. That sounds like a nickname that needs to stick. to live the gimmick. Alright. That was terrible on everyone's part. We'll play one more. One more. We've got to try to go out on a high note. One more and then we're done. It wasn't terrible. I won. What are you talking about? One more. Jack Danger, White Claw Mike. I'll agree with that. Player one is up. Oh, White Claw Mike. I want... Can you still make Zima? I would drink Zima out of a brown paper bag. Oh, my God. I mean, I think Zima and White Claw are the same formula. Are they really? No. Freaking weenie genie, bro. Well, White Claw is like this century's version of Zima. Well, they bring Zima back every once in a while, don't they? Yeah. Like the McRib? Yeah, it comes back like the McRib. I didn't drink Zima in Vegas Bro, if you made me drink Zima Oh, was that when we weren't there? When we were gone? It wasn't Zima, bro It was like some idiot was like teasing me Was that you teasing me? Who was making fun of me? It was you? Man, I'm friends Dog, listen Whatever does the trick. Okay, bro? That's hard. Come on. I keep a small thing of paint thinner under this hat. Please stay alive. Hit the Demi-Go. Eat the freaking ball, dude. That's what I thought.

That's not a... the answer is in the question it's a secret if it's a secret then no god damn it Junior give me a question who's player to go three or four I'll go three no I'll play clean can mike finish his white claw on camera please yeah i'm cracking a i'm cracking a a black cherry over here bro if you want one Is there a video mode, and can you get it besides Mystery Award? No video mode. No video mode. Lock is lit. Oh, no. Oh! I saved it one way and lost it the other way. Can you disable the little lock flap at the top right if the flipper is weak? Can you set it to virtual locks only? You could. Yeah, you could. Yeah, you could set it to virtual locks only. Can you tell me if the cord is three feet or six feet? It's 6.5 or higher, Internet. Okay. No video mode. This is pinball, not Nintendo. With the future code, it's over into the projector. Oh, yeah, there's a lot more on everything coming. There's a lot more projector stuff coming. Yeah, some unique stuff, too. Like you see the half stand-ups. They don't have anything on them right now, but there's going to be some special things with that. You know, there's other cool things, like when you're having a mode going in in multiball, you can see both running at once, so there's lots of combo things that you don't get on the pro. Oh, it looks fucking sick. I can't talk and play at the same time. Is it, like, totally freaking out again? I don't know why. It's like, you're clean, and then it's fuzzy. All right. He's up. Hi, Internet. It's me, your dad. Clean your room, and go get your mom's credit card. and cut. Oh, yeah, let me do the secret skill shot. Nailed it. See, we almost got it. It's supposed to jump up and hit the glass. Who is your action button? What does he do? I love the kid who got popped out right there. That's brilliant. Start button. Who is your action button? What does it do? I almost walked away from that. What side story? Someone knows. I want to be in America Oh, burn the kid It's the burn the kid mode Cook the kid Cook the kid Oh yeah, when you Yeah, hold on Let me hot spear this kid really quick, Jody Everything's fine I love you. Damn, damn, damn. Give him the hot spear. Hot spear. Damn. I'm trying, dog. Boom. Yeah, all the most, that will pass that time. Double, double, double content. I don't know about the dead flip code on this game, but Jeff kind of already has taken it up. Wow! Wow! I don't think we need to, like, to add to that. To give him more air? I mean, listen. You're welcome. Listen. Pinball has increased in popularity 30% every year for the last five and a half years. You know how long dead flips existed? Five and a half years. Do the math, ladies and gentlemen. Jack literally goes to every machine that has his code in it and puts it in as he walks by. I've seen him do it. I saw it a lot of times last week. Yeah. Oh, God. Here we go. Yes, there are clips and animations only available. The world was shot. The internet will hit us. Jack, your hot spirit is 15. How could you do that? Gross dude. The premium does include Jack Segal, yes. We had to get a bigger box to fit it. Shipped separately. Gary was not happy about having to change the box to buy. Jack Segal was the right. Christmas stuff. Gary has a gift certificate. Like the Star Wars figures. Yeah. Get your own Jack Segal. 10K by Christmas, baby. The fire looks sick. Um, there's... I think I saw in a preliminary test the fire was, like, going over everything. What the hell was that little baby foot? It was called a muscle spasm. God damn it. I love that everyone's getting so angry. This game is pissing me off today. So angry. This could be the worst I've ever played on this game. The floor is up. It could be. we're gonna start doing these things like right after lunch so like where i'm still on i'm not exhausted no we need to do them with beers in our hands it's pinball let's go that means i have to come out of drinking retirement yes listen whatever it's well i don't want to i don't want to encourage that that's messed up but if you're willing if you're willing As long as they let us As long as they let me expense the buying of the drinks I'm surprised Jack doesn't You're up I'm player three Jack Danger, player number one of the century This is not redeeming us You got one dollar Redemption song Trap him How many demo dog modes are there? Three, trace Trois Oh, that was a, that was fun. Wait, do it again. Eat the ball, dummy.

What'd you say about my mom? What'd you say? What? Yeah, in the morning, when you guys are first waking up, I'll bring you some coffee. Thank you. Thank you. Black. The projector is right under the apron, yeah, and the apron's really easy to take off, So should you ever need to get that protection for some reason, it's pretty easy to get that. Oh, I got something. Is this part just hitting the targets? Yeah, the demo target. Oh, wait. Get all the drops. He's ill again Shit, shit. Is that a multiball? Yeah. Oh, neato. Oops, that was stupid. That was even stupider. Oh, that was cool. Did you see that? The auto-plunge gave it a hit. Yeah. That was pretty neat. Are there more multiballs coming? Some of the wizard modes are multiballs, like total isolation is number one, and the final wizard modes will like to be multiballs as well. A couple of the Demogorgon modes are multiballs, like, for example, this one. Now I'm not doing anything. Now I'm not doing nothing. OK. Oh, I get to burn him? No. That does put you second place. Player three is up. Player three. All one lot. Nice. What are you kids doing with all of this? No! I think I got screwed by the right outlay every ball of this game. Jody almost beat you. I think I got screwed by your ability to play Pimple. So. Player four. You're up. I did not go out on a high note. You did better. That wasn't very high. So far, so far. I shouldn't say that. This is the last chance. You're going to need a huge ball. Gross. Jack, are you getting a premium? I don't know what model I'm getting in the studio. He's getting a white one. Yeah, there you go. I'm getting the white one. I believe that I am coming to the Golden State Pinball Festival. If Marco is, then I am for sure. I had a great time at it last year. That's a fun graphic. Great, great, and all right. Ryan, tell us if you're making Medieval Madness 2 or Attack of Mars 3. I can say nothing. Not confirming is confirming. The same thing, I'll be at the Seattle show.

That's a new thing. I got the match. I went, yeah! Everybody win? I do have an Apple Watch, so I don't need a Fitbit during the Twippies. I got a lot of steps in last year going up to that podium so many times. Oh, dude. I would like to collect a Twippy. I want one. Can I just have one this year, please? Just give me one.
