No, thank YOU, @Alt Shift X, for all the hard work and passion you put into every single video. Congratulations on the 100th video and the upcoming 1M subscriber count! Cheers! 😄👍

Thank you for making such great content

well deserved

Hell yeah!! Congrats my brotha!! Keep up the good work. The gold standard

Thanks for everything....

Agreed.

why else would it be there

Why when he is an idiotic fool who walked into a war he cant win and got easily slaughtered by Ramsay?

@@godemperorofmankind3.091 we dont talk about virgin serial Stannis We speak about the LORD book Stannis

@@petrnovak6879 he still was an idiot who walked into a war he has no chance of winning and stranded himself in a frozen wasteland. did he magically know Mel can summon shadow assassins from her pussy? no. not really. thus, idiot.

Yeah. I have to fix the size of shit in my head when I read his stuff.

Considering many great structures have been made partially with magic, it's acceptable to me.

The metric system would have helped him a great deal i belive. You dont come up with a 213m high wall just like that.

@@kyle857 if he is talking in feet, yards and stuff id have no clue anyway so i can just imagin whatever i want.

Kratatch Fuck your foolish metric measurements. He should have used measurements in Hodors, the greatest unit of measurement

So the episode has to last like 2 years for you to be happy?

They assumed that the white walkers would win though and actually keep the night going.

The show is garbage now

@@universalpage9591 try 2 bad SEASONS

​@@universalpage9591 Critics rating is shit and mostly bribed. Many bad movies get positive critic score but low audience scores. Try using the audience score next time... The show slowly went to total shit after they go off the books. Teleporting characters, plot armour, fan service, inconsistent logic....just because YOU have low standards doesnt mean I have to

You mean 50 hodors taller

GRRM likes history

@@QueenDaenerysTargaryen Most people do as well!

@@Gadget-Walkmen i wouldn't say that

@@diogo4800 they do! There’s tons of documentaries that are watched all the time!

I demand a trial by Hodor!

I've been doing this for a while already, just yesterday I measured my dong at 0.6 hodors long.

@@akeelbrown7675 got me beat 0.001 Hodors here

how many Hodor's is it to the moon?

@@scottmantooth8785 1848, Hodor is 208 cm tall, 384,400,000 metres to the moon, #Hodorsystem

As an American I appreciate the deference but as a progressive I give you permission to leave us in the dust! No sense in us not switching to metric like the rest of the world.

I was going to say something similar. Why would he use the Empire State Building or Big Ben? Clearly there’s only one, superior, form of measurement and that is the Hodor method. I am approximately .8 Hodors and live in a house that is about 457 Hodors sq

Can be used for height _and_ weight.

In Russia there was system of measurements which used lengths of parts of human body like elbows and spans . Maybe we can revive it and measure things in Hodors, Hodor-elbows, Hodor-spans etc.?

@@Paul_Sergeyev Hodors dik maybe? (1,2m)

Buy it's probably twice as many Hodors high!

Actually the pyramid of Ghis is very different from that of Giza apart from its name, as it is a palace in the middle of a city rather than a tomb. A more likely inspiration is the ziggurats of Mesopotamia or the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan

Literally everything in GOT is "inspired" by something or the other irrespective of it being from other Authors or Real life.

Ducklord The Great They were never tombs, they never found any bodies in the pyramids....the misinformation campaign needs to end sometime.

@T Mac Would people really have lived in it though?

999 because only the chinese emperor could have the number 1000

no only god(s) could have the number 1000 in heaven @@wintermelon2484

The Chinese emperors had many concubines and eunuchs servants in the Forbidden Palace. The Palace was build by countless workers but after the construction was done, many of those workers were executed.

Just like the Red Keep and Maegor the Cruel, huh))

It took 14 years for construction of the Imperial Palace and more millions of workers. But some workers were executed in order to keep secrets of the palace. 100,000 artist were also part of the construction as well.

Ivan The Terrible basically everything in ASOIF is based on history. Even major story beats like the battle of the blackwater, which is taken straight out of Byzantine history.

We all love his story

What about Podricks magnum dong?

Maybe even Podrick's 😉

There's more depth in this video than in the whole 7th season

The Volume of Fire and Blood will be out in 2019.

wifi luke It gives the book incredible depth,not the show

Emergency Awesome, Gray Area and Talking Thrones are just a few others that you must not know about. They all have depth to them personally that the others are capable of. I wonder how many people helped GRRM write these stories.

Yeah but it's also skeezy as hell.

They painted everything with vanta black lol

I'd enjoy it there. The sun is brutal

Look up Jain Farstrider and the city of Shadar Logoth in the Wheel of Time books. I'm sure that these are related. Other than there not being any record of Jain traveling to Shadar Logoth, the similarities are too close. But then again the GoT equivalents never met either.

Lmao and a large horn that exited out the rear as you drop firey diarrhea on your enemies

He can shoot arrows from his boobs

Literally shitting on your enemies

This is Gold.

During times of war, the Titan would be equipped with a taco and the rear port is opened.

They assumed that the white walkers would win though and actually keep the night going.

@@fuckenps3 Just, for me, personally, I would have changed how S8 played out. Even if the night was singular, I still think the War with Cersei was completed in episodes 1-4 where the final 2 are used to deal with the White Walkers.

Noble I’d have evacuated the North and marched them Southwards to King’s Landing (or maybe a neighboring city. Castley Rock comes to mind) and forced Cersi to fight with us. Lannisters suck at fighting anyways (the Dothraki have shown that plenty of times), but at least her army would be exhausted for Daenerys to take the Iron Throne.

I think they should have just kept 10 episode seasons this whole time to be able to properly flesh out the ending. But considering they had no actual book material to lift from they seem to have not had any confidence in themselves. Perhaps working closely with GRRM would have helped.

@@aaronlandry3934 Would've made for a better season!

Long Bridge is more like Old London Bridge with dash of Ponte Vecchio.

@@moalabs and Rogare Bank of Lys is Medici Bank of Florence.

Walls of Qarth might be the Walls of Babylon (esp. Ishtar gate), at least the decor might be inspired by them

@@majan6267 What about Rogare Bank of Lys is inspired by Medici Bank of Florence.

Hightower is more of a mix of the Lighthouse and the Library of Alexandria.

You could do that but why? Why would you do that? Why would you do any of that?

Now that's a lot of damage!

It turnes out Azor Ahai's flaming sword is a chainsaw

The wall is flex seal

Project TsukiNoMe oh get back in your basement, nobody cares about that shit

what about florence. It was also a roman city and "ponte vecchio" (google it) is pretty much the same. I think London is in facto more compatible (being further away from valyria, and the fact that it was devided in two) so maybe RR Martin read about London bridge in London having buildings on it, and inspired from "Ponte Vecchio" tought of that.

or maybe just the show writers (forgot)

@@leonardodavid2842 In Fire and Blood, Rogare Bank is inspired by Medici Bank of Florence.

A respected city on one side and filthy degenerates and outlaws on the other? Sounds a lot like San Fran and Oakland. *I'm kidding please don't hurt me*

@@TheIrishSpectre I used to live in tenderloin a decade ago. and before that in casto. enough degenerates about on both sides of the bay my friend

maria agreed

So true...

This is one of the reasons I don't like the show anymore. They are rushing through all the content just to finish the story, while they completely ignore all of the interesting lore of asoiaf

@@Huggsmd Well you can't expect them to do anything else. It's a contained story in the world, Game of Thrones is a story told from the POV of the characters, you can't just go off telling stories about ASOIAF without any context. When GRR Martin said that his books were impossible to adapt for TV, he was thinking on that scale. There is a reason it is contained to what is important for the story.

@@Huggsmd The books, in my opinion, are too complex to be incorporated in the show completely. On a totally different note, I'm so excited for Winds Of Winter!

I thought it was from a Lovecraft story

if it lasted any longer, and thye were defeated at Winterfell, nobody and nothing could have stopped them

@@josephleonard6695 press F for constantinople (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Volantis is more like it, they are the only real successor state of Valyria (Rome) and attempted to reconquer Valyria. Volantis also has two halves separated by water like Constantinople.

True; or maybe even Qart Hadasht, meaning Carthage, or the New City.

@@harpe9415 Don't think so man, the two halves characteristic applies to any city that presents a river or other stream of water. Qarth is definitely Constantinople since it's the bridge between east and west but also for its walls. The walls was actually why i made this comment in the first place. Until the Ottomans and their cannons Constantinoples was protected by any invasion because of its multilayered walls, much like Qarth. Also it stands as the gate of access to a strait, just like Constantinople

hanging gardens of Babylon!!! Dude wtf. Constantinople was roman and there are alredy cities inspired to it in GoT (the valerian cities). I think Long bridge is inspired more from ponte vecchio in florence don't you think?

I knew that name was familiar somewhere

I’m religious. So i believe in heaven (duh). I always said to myself that when i die and go to heaven i want to basically VR (except it is real) style go back to ALL the fictional worlds i wanted to experience. And actually experience them, so this video is actually helping me.

Looks more like old London bridge upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Claude_de_Jongh__-View_of_London_Bridge-__Google_Art_Project_bridge.jpg/800px-_View_of_London_Bridge_-_Google_Art_Project_bridge.jpg

More like the historical London Bridge

the long bridge also refers to the catacombs in edinburgh scotland many such similarities built along a roman aqueduct

i would love for them to do this but focus it more on poor people who live in the cities: prostitutes, thieves, beggars rather than noble houses

Doesn’t have time for the books and was bored by the show, what are you even doing here you cynical asshole….

Actually I was thinking of the ancient Mesopotamians, the Assyrians. That fits the defeated Ghiscari empire very well.

@@slitor Ghis seems to be an odd mixture of Carthage (for the whole "warring with the large empire several times until destruction and having their capital absolutely destroyed after their final defeat" thing) and Egypt (for the whole slaves and pyramids thing). I honestly don't know enough about the Assyrians to compare the two.

or maybe atlantis, since it was said to be from three consequtive rings and built out of red, white and black stones

​@@H7Roba4 Nah the Walls of Constantinople they had 3 huge walls protecting the city from, Arabs, Rus', and Bulgars,

@@H7Roba4 Yeah I think Valyria is Atlantis (Based on the way it ended) and Qarth is probably based on Istanbul.

Definitely Constantinople, I doubt Martin knew of or watched Avatar.

Qarth is Constantinople because Trippled Wall is the multilayered walls that Constantinople city to stop foreign invasions.

More likely the three walls (and Qarth itself) is a reference to Carthage which famously had 3 walls its west side and took the romans over two years to siege.

@@sicksock435446 i see, but isn't Carthage a walled port city?, qarth is away from any bays. anyway your point is also plausible

You confuse the hanging gardens with the ishtar gate of babylon

Jellyfish I thought of Ponte Veccio too

It would be so great. Just having to choose weither to become a war lord in the East, a rich merchant, a Westerosi king, or just a traveller, a wanderer thirsty for discoveries and remote places. I always had the fantasy of being an historian/archeologist similar to Lara Croft or Indiana Jones in those fictictional universes and to unearth long-forgotten mysteries...

@@tamalice23 That game KIND of exists already, except it's not a pure RPG, but an strategy/RPG hybrid. It's a mod for Crusader Kings 2, simply called "A game of thrones. Just last night I played as the Corbrey's during the Andal invasion, somehow ending up being even more of an asshole than the "historical" Corbrey's. I've previously done playthroughs where I put Samwell Tarly's grandson on the Iron Throne (Sam, in this case, turned into an cruel machiavellian mastermind that married into the Tyrell family, and a few strategic assasinations later made sure a Tarly ended up as lord of highgarden, who then proceeded to bully the king on the iron throne, a drunken and pathetic grandson of Stannis, into introducing an elective system and get himself elected). It's the perfect GoT game in my mind, but if you want an actual RPG where you actually walk through the streets of Volantis it's not what you are looking for. Check out this video for how the game plays: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsqTYMeIv5qXnps.html If you never heard of CK2 it's a historical strategy game set during the crusades. It STARTS historical, but then anything can happen, and the GoT mod works the same, just with the GoT setting instead of histrocial europe. So I've seen Viserys end up on the iron throne, Robert discover Cersei's infidelity and exile her to the wall. When I tried out playing the Clegane family a week ago something (I don't know what exactly) happened between Robert and Tywin, and Robert ended up imprisoning, torturing, and finally executing Tywin within weeks of his coronation, putting a 13 year old Tyrion on the throne in the Westerlands. But of course Robert ended up denying Tyrion the title of Warden of the West, so we rose in rebellion. You play as an individual lord, and when you die you continue playing as his heir, as long as they belong to the same dynasty. Without an heir it's game over. The entire world is playable as well, so you can play as a lord in the east, or a slaver in Yunkai, or a dothraki horselord, or an Bravoosi merchant. You can even play as a pirate in the stepstones or basilisk isles or a summer islander, and if you download submods you can play as a dragonlord in Valyria before the doom. The only real restriction is that you can't have the doom happen during play. You either play before the doom, as far back as the andal invasion, and the doom can never happen, or you can play after the doom, although you can play right AFTER the doom and establish yourself as the "Dragon king" of Dragonstone as Anearis the Exile, with Danaerys the Dreamer as on of your 4 dragonriders and an one year old Balerion ready to grow up into the Black Dread. :) Of course, CK2 being CK2, when I did that Balerion ended up being killed by one of my other dragons when he was just 5 years old... So it's a great game for "What if..."-scenarios, but increadibly frustrating if you want to re-live the actual storyline.

Sounds like Skyrim except a terabyte of memory

I don't see that happening exactly as you would like any time soon, although I wish it would. However there are two are options I would recommend. Mount and Blade Warband has 1 or 2 really good GoT mods, main attraction is the ability to create armies, choose how they look and what weapons they have, choose how you look and what your weapons are, and conquer whatever you want if you are good enough by physically sieging or attacking others. Downsides to this is its really more combat based and (if you care about it) the graphics are slightly dated. Skyrim has a game of thrones adaption mod that is pretty good and kinda close to what you want, probably the closest out of any other options I've seen. It changes the story to work with Game of Thrones, changes the look of most of the cities, adds lots of in game factions and adds game of thrones armours and weapons. The main downside I've found with this mod is that you need to play with subtitles as that tells the story because they didn't have new voice actors, and the voice acting is still included but its from Skyrim so its a little annoying. There is also another adaption mod being developed that will be much more detailed and probably the closest thing to what you have described. You also have the ability to download mods to bring it closer to the experience you want: combat mods because the Skyrim combat isn't great, weapon and armour mods, army building mods, romance and 'm rated' mods and other mods that you might want.

@@mybawzarerichie Yeah, i don"t think we will get a first/third person action/adventure/RPG Game of Thrones any time soon, it's just my wishful thinking. But i am playing those Mount&Blade mods and Crusader Kings 2 has an amazing GOT mod.
