WHATEVER DIMENSION THIS IS — Usually, the point of these articles is for me to provide (hopefully) illuminating context to random videos — but not this time.

I don't know how to explain this video to you, but I've watched it five times and I am mesmerized. It's a good video. And if you're not a fan, you'll see something interesting enough to merit 52 seconds of your time.

The best way to describe it is if the arcade and video game hit Dance Dance Revolution met Photoshop. That's not it exactly, but the scenario of arrows in the classic game drifting on screen as you move to the rhythm is the closest approximation I can imagine to this ... monstrosity? Masterpiece?

Take a look.

There's something cathartic about watching this person dance around frantically. The random floating horse's head and body parts hanging around, wondering how the heck this guy will get into a weird pose with a strange object on time, only to see him nail it and be enthralled by the new objects flying toward him.

Of course, unlike the old-fashioned Dance Dance Revolution, this video relies on the miracle of editing rather than contortions and timing, so he's sure to hit all the right notes. But that doesn't make this onslaught less random or mesmerizing, and it's sure to leave you entertained. Now excuse me, I need to watch this another 14 times.
