This is a tribute to Junji Ito and hos horror manga Uzumaki, which is about a town getting possessed by spirals. This video is filled with reference after reference. Including snails, medusa hair, phobia of spirals and more. I loved this.

The spiral obsession is a reference to a Japanese horror comic called "Uzumaki", it's more disturbing than scary cause the story is literally about people obsessing about anything with a spiral shape. They either enjoy the spiral or fear it but it's more driven into insanity than anything.

"It's like something out of a D&D session!" I would definitely enjoy watching Gray play D&D. Just need to find a DM good enough at improvising to deal with all the chaotic energy Gray brings to the table, and players veteran enough to not be completely steamrollered by Gray. Well, Dice Goblins is back, maybe Gray could join them for a session or two?

[@TheBigbean500]

He did the GTA race with Dangerously Funny and the other guy that one time. Those two would probably be fun to join him.

Legit everything from eyes jutting out and a spiral tongue, to a spiral obsession and spiral art is pulled directly from the manga 'Uzumaki' from the master of body horror himself, Junji Ito. All the pictures in the pop ups are actual manga panels. Every little piece of this an Uzumaki reference and I'm living for it.

"Dwarf attacked by carp" is definitely a Dwarf Fortress reference. Carp used to be seriously OP in that game.

Um, Gray, just so you know, Torsional Strabismus is real. It's one of a set of these eye conditions where your visual field is bigger or different than it should normally be and your eye goes anywhere from mild vibration, like mine, or the ability to have your eyes go in various directions that are abnormal. :) That eye bulging issue is what happens to a lot of people very bad thyroid problems.

The entire scenario is an Uzumaki reference. The alerts litterlay use art from the manga and all the symptoms are from it. Even the caniblaism and blood dinking which ould be the whole maternity arc (with the mothers turning into mosquitoes to feed their babies. Never really understood what that part had to do with spirals and the rest of the mange but whatever...). Except maybe the 'mind sharing' thing, that one seems to be the Guren Lagan route.

[@robinchesterfield42]

Considering Pravus's video about it, I would say literally yes. It clocks in at almost an hour and three minutes. :P

[@Tekdruid]

11:15 Guessing that's a nod to an early version of Dwarf Fortress where fish used to gain ludicrous physical abilities from swimming constantly so they would become these super buff alpha predators and drag your dwarves into the water and kill them. Carps were especially notorious because they're fairly common, bigger than your average dorf, and also predators.
