Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!

Guys.. this month we reached 100k on Youtube! Honestly still unbelievable to me, and never expected to reach this milestone. I really appreciate everyone that has supported me and kept me going over the years, and I'd just like to say thanks. :)

In honor of reaching this achievement, I've simulated 104,657 Youtube Play Buttons getting smashed in Blender! It took weeks to simulate and render... and I kinda broke Blender in the process... But in the end was totally worth. Enjoy!
