Game of Thrones Abridged #56: Catelyn VIII, AGOT

[@rikkeholmberg]

So Alt, this is going to sound almost blasphemeous, because I really love this channel. I loved the idea right from the start, your incredible voice, the humor, and aaaaaaall the tangents. I have been smiling, smirking and lol-ing my way through each and every one. The community that grew up around you (and around Oyster and Cata) is beyond amazing, people are so nice and funny and intelligent, and I love being a part of that too. But I have to admit that actually I did enjoy the earlier recorded episodes more than these recent live streams. A bit too many bells and whistles. Too much namedropping. This one is an improvement over the last one though, so I think maybe you are aware of this. (haven't listened to the last part of this one yet). Please don't drown your incredible channel in flashing lights. It really does not need it. It is awesome enough to stand on it's own. I mean this in the best way possible, and I say it because I care :)

[@Aaron3502]

I second this.

[@Arensi]

Rikke Holmberg meh i prefer this

[@NIKSEEN]

I feel the same way. Well put into words, Rikke!

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

Rikke Holmberg I agree with this entirely. I've wondered if the wandering, meandering shift has come to avoid issues with lawyers. In other words: Maybe there's a legal reason to make these less of a chapter by chapter summary?

[@tim154154]

you know, my brother once told me that nothing someone says before the word but really counts

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

I love her chapters so much

[@l.jboylan6704]

Why the fuck did Maester Luwin tell Rickon to go with some wilding, alone, when he's the last hope for the Stark bloodline TO GO INTO THE FUCKING WILD TO FIND THE UMBERS, when Howland Reed LIVES IN A MAGIC SWAMP CASTLE THAT MOVES

[@neymow2242]

"Thanks for the battle advice, mom"

[@ZaeBae22]

A few suggestions to make the live interactions and KZbin video work better together : take out donation sound and make it visual only and thank them all verbally at the end of the video. The same as your patrons for your main channel. Clip the video from the start closer to the chapter if its too far. I would limit to chat interaction to things related to the chapter (ignore birthdays, username mentions etc... while still keeping jokes and stuff like that). If you do it this way you can interact with your fans all you want in the beginning of the live stream and the end, leaving the middle clip the perfect size for youtube while remaining high quality like your previous videos (not a fan of this new format)

"And then it's on to the Red Keep to free Ned." - the way he said this in the show sounded so chilled he may as well have said "And then it's on to walmart to buy bread." One man you don't want to war with.

[@calikal1968]

Woke up, cause finally a storm decided to pass by for few seconds, and I knew it... there was another wonderful episode waiting for me! Thank you Alt!!!

[@calikal1968]

American Gods ftw!

[@brianferguson3447]

That's exactly how red hair genes work. I also have dark hair but some red in my beard. Hair color genes can express themselves differently in facial hair than they do in the hair atop your head. It's a double recessive gene, so it won't show up in your hair on top unless it comes from both parents, but it can still show up in your beard if only one parent carries the red gene.

[@TheMercyfulEmperor]

Stannis would be so cross with this episode. Fewer Tangents, Fewer eels.

[@GrimgoreIronhide]

Well, this is 4 years late but I would LOVE to see you read the Dark Tower, its an amazing read. The only problem is that there is a lot of crossover with his other works so if you havent read some Stephan King you will miss a lot of things.

[@haoxus9413]

What would really subvert our expectations -- GoT is actually set in the future where white walkers are periodic reseting force (flood in halo). They discovered big ben's ruin under kingslanding

[@thayet]

10:50 Eels are quite fatty tho, so it would make sense

[@nickjimenez3236]

AMERICAN GODS, I LITERALLY SAID YES OUT LOUD AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE

[@michal22011]

Wonder if Littlefinger whispered to senior Robert Arryn's ear to foster Robert junior and then whispered to Lysa's ear to kill senior

[@jillc9727]

Radio Show - Alt Schwift Etc.

[@gavlarr2136]

I LOVE YOU ALT SCHWIFT ❤️

[@chukadoo1871]

howland is one of the characters im most interested in seeing a pay-off for. i know the newer generation is taking the spotlight but i feel that man has done and knows too much for him not to play a role. probably much too late, but really hope you upload/stream other abridged series! also hope you eventually got around to the dark tower series. the first and third books are just so damn fun..

[@WorthlessWinner]

57:00 I hope you read the dark tower at some point. I loved the early books but it's quality goes the same way the game of thrones tv series quality went

[@anonimen31]

I'd be very keen for an Alt Schwift X series on HP Lovecraft stories!! (Call of Cthulhu, Dagon, Horror at Red Hook)

[@Jaredbbishop93]

I consistently watch Alts main channel but just discovered this one. Love the insights and comedy. Though, the fact that not more subscribers and viewers see these is due to his poor advertising. The only way you know about these is by looking at his other channels on your own volition.

[@GaiaMannino]

I know I am late to the party, but the Dark Tower is the next best thing after game of thrones and the vampire chronicles by Anne Rice...I hope you will abridge it someday!!

[@skullshapedbox]

Had to leave the stream, had my bf over, but i can't WAIT for the next one! two live streams in one day! This was a good day :) thank you Alt.

[@TunacanSteve]

This series was so good. It looks like greed has ruined it, like everything on youtube.

[@Galvatronover]

Wdym

[@dickrichard1413]

hey schwifty! just wanted to let you know that it may be a good idea to get someone to moderate the chat, as to avoid people typing slurs and other shit like that, dont know if u can do that with youtube streaming but u can with twitch, but thanks for the great stream!

[@Jamessimpson12321]

Alt please, for the love of god do a version of The Dark Tower, or The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. The Wheel of Time might take a little while though considering that there are 14 books.

[@KlaraL-_-]

This was great! I do wonder what the crannormen are doing...

[@kellytheobald5260]

Hey, do you mind explaining what's on the Schwift Discord chat? You gotta download it and I'm just trying to decide if it's worth it

[@grimaldus1523]

yay I made that poll

[@Lawngnomeking35]

It's similar to Skype if you have ever used that. You are not required to voice chat, and there is no video. There are several text chats available, and it's just an easy way to stay connected. It does not take up a lot of resources either, if that's something you are concerned about.

[@kellytheobald5260]

Hmm, okay! It looks cool--I will suck it up and download it. Thanks for answering :)

[@Lawngnomeking35]

Feel free to yell at me or any of the mods if you have any questions

[@applewagon253]

This is the second time I’ve heard shwift say “David and Sampson” 😅😂 get your bible straight, son!

[@intell32]

OOOOOO DARK TOWER PLEASE

[@dukaduka506]

CAAAAAAT! -Robert

[@TheBaxHead]

Do Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or The Sandman - N. Gaiman or Schwifty Shades of Grey

[@bigd3996]

Schwift are you on the discord network?

[@stephaniec9539]

I think the Dark Tower would be great

[@farmschoolchicks1913]

Miss the drunkenness

[@miketrujillo3677]

We can either do this for a good time or a long time

[@outlawofgor4426]

Would Tywin have gone ahead with the red wedding if Jamie remained the Starks captive? That would make catfish not only responsible for starting the war by kidnapping tyrion but also the red wedding (sort of) by freeing Jamie.

[@liviavalverde1599]

Alt, your tangentyness makes this kraken get soaking wet

[@Nick-ko1jx]

"We do not sew" ... im dying

[@catathielemann3239]

Alt dear, two livestreams in a day... you're on fire. Thanks for the video, and all the tangents that we love so much. Lots of love to the #schwiftysquwad, have a great week everybody. facebook.com/groups/148969352315008/

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

War on the outer rim

[@arrowfatz3747]

If you Livestreamed Dark Tower books I'd be your new best friend

[@alexanderf8451]

I'd suggest American Gods first. Stick to your "core competencies" to begin with. Dark Tower gets extremely complicated and I think it would be difficult to do this sort of show about it without a lot of background.

[@user-vb4fs6wb4s]

Please warn us before you start a new series so we could read it too!

[@faisalkamal4319]

You can attack Jaime without sending to men to Tywin's main army

[@miketrujillo3677]

They would have converged into one army of 60k against 20k, instead he took 18k in a surprise attack on a sleeping 30k army, if he hadn't sent the scout and the 2k men it would've been 20k vs 60k

[@applewagon253]

LOVE American gods

[@NostalgiaChubby]

aw, man...I've been contemplating contacting you to ask if you'd be okay with me doing Dark Tower...schwifty style...and you beat me to it...

[@tabeeb99]

do ducking berserk

[@larperdixon723]

ALT DOWNSHIFT
