Play-By-Play Commentary

The Finality of it all

Jason brings it home and sews the whole package up with a nice explosion in space, cue end graphics with kids cheering on the fireworks. You can't beat closure like that or ask for anything more. Ballsy came, he saw, he fought, he conquered, he relaxed, and then he left this world in a brilliant display of pyrotechnics.

Picking a winner won't be easy, as both contestants brought some impressive animation chops to share. Behind the curtain, today's motion-graphics-over-video challenge introduced delays from rendering and uploading that simple Photoshop matches don't have, and tightened an already tightly timed event. I hope to see more of these in the future though, despite the delays.

Welp, that about does her, wraps her all up. Tell us who you think won this match in the forums.
