Alt Shift X

Update: Dunk & Egg & Dune & Apes ⚔️🥚🪱🐵

Edit: Knight of the Seven Kingdoms video out now!

TL;DR – Dunk & Egg trailer video coming soon. Then a big Planet of the Apes video. Then Dune videos.

There’s a new trailer out for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – the new Game of Thrones spinoff show. Alt Schwift X and Glidus did ...

Update: Dune videos

TL;DR – four Dune videos coming: Faces of Dune, Fighters of Dune, Philosophy of Dune, The Real Dune Part Two.

We’ve almost finished Faces of Dune, a ~25-minute-long video. It compares how the characters of Dune are portrayed in the movies and miniseries, versus the book. It focuses on the characters’ physical appearance, including costumes, sets etc. It’s cool to see all the different adaptations of Dune side-by-side! (And shoutout to Patron Jack for suggesting ...

Frank Herbert video out now for Patrons!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE1lvSMD86M

We’re back!

For the last six months, this Patreon was paused, so you weren’t charged. We took some time off – but we also worked on videos.

A year ago, I was reading about the author of Dune, Frank Herbert. I learned all these crazy anecdotes, like Frank’s journey to Mexico in a hearse, and his wind turbine invention, and his paranormal inte...

Destination: Void chat with Quinn’s Ideas

Discussing "Destination: Void" by Frank Herbert, with Quinn's Ideas!

YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfrXin7_xW8

We’re working on several videos about Dune and Frank Herbert. So I read one of Frank’s other novels, Destination: Void, which explores the nature of consciousness. (In space!)

Here’s a conversation about Destination: Void with Quinn from Quinn’s Ideas: 2025-02-05 01:40:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Dune livestream & video plans

Edit: here are the weekly Dune: Prophecy streams: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn6yDpEottdgtKuLDWNMMLAhmxE2DgygM

The new Dune: Prophecy TV show has begun. So I chatted about the series with Quinn’s Ideas, Elaine from Nerd Cookies, and Abu and Leo from the Gom Jabbar podcast. Unfortunately, my audio level was quiet – but it was a great conversation: 2024-11-19 07:39:30 +0000 UTC View Post

HOTD S2 Spoiler Zone with Schwift and Glidus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8yH9xTLhD0

Alt Schwift X and Glidus had a final chat about House of the Dragon Season 2 – it’s the Spoiler Zone, speculating on future seasons based on the books. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, Alt Shift X is still on a break. The Patreon is paused, so you’re not being charged. When we return, we'll make videos about ASOIAF and Dune and more.

Thanks!

I would have liked to finish this video sooner. But it got too long – partly because it includes some Season 1 recap type info, and it also explains the new intro tapestry.. In future weeks, I’ll try to keep the videos shorter, so we can release them sooner. The Explained videos should be quick and concise – if you want exhaustive ...

Tuf Voyaging with Aziz, Glidus and Bran

Here is the monthly “livestream” for “April”!

Admittedly, it is actually now May, and this is pre-recorded, not live. However, this is a special recording, because it includes Aziz from History of Westeros, and Glidus, and Bran the Builder, all talking about Tuf Voyaging! I hope you enjoy it.

Things have been a bit chaotic lately, due to travel (meeting George Martin etc). But in a week, we’ll resume normal programming.
