It's been a couple years since we did weekly Game of Thrones episode breakdowns. And in that time, Alt Shift X videos have become more in-depth, more polished, more labor-intensive. It's tricky getting back into the frantic one-week cycle.

But I'm not too worried about rushing the videos out. We recently hit one million subscribers on YouTube, and the Patreon has grown. Thanks to your support, we're not as reliant on snatching up all the YouTube clicks ASAP. We can take the time to think things through, and make sure each video is done right. That's kinda the whole point of Alt Shift X.

The S8E01 Explained video will be pretty long, around 18 minutes. We go into detail on the new opening sequence, talk about some cool theories and prophecy, all the callbacks and reunions... you'll dig it. Expect it'll be done in a day or two.

I'm aiming to finish the next couple of episode breakdowns faster – hopefully before the Friday. The last few S8 episodes will be movie-length monsters though, so they might take longer.. and no doubt the series finale will take at least a week to process. But yeah, they'll be done once they're done well. GOT S8E01 vid coming soon!

And thank you for one million subs! 🎉🎉This could not have happened without your support. Might do a special 1M subs video once the dust has settled on S8 🙂

Congrats on 1 million, ASX. You definitely deserve it. You actually mention doing something cool during your first Q&A when you hit 1M so I'm sure lots of us would like to see you do something fun.

Rikke Holmberg

Not to mention the fact that you already got 11.000 more since 1M 😊

Thanks Alt Shift X! Congrats! You’re content is so good I’m constantly checking if you’ve posted

I thought there was going to be a face reveal at one million ;)

Olaf Emmerich

I would be more interested how many patrons you have at this point, although it's probably not a number you disclose.. ;) I still selfishly wait for my name to be read out in one of the videos, but there's also a chance that already happened and I missed it.. :D Either way, take as much time as you need for the videos! There's already plenty of next-day "analysis" that I can live without!

Rikke Holmberg

He has 2262 Patrons. That’s on the frontpage of his Patreon site, so hardly a secret 😁

The same way Alt Shift X recaps a series from its origins to the present day, in celebration of one million subscribers I propose this: A meta Alt Shift X history of the Alt Shift X timeline, from pre-YouTube concept all the way to today, detailing all the major milestones and updates along the way. It would be a nice little reflection of how far the channel and community have grown, and a chance to pat yourself on the back a little because it's well earned.

"Alt Shift X Explained" would make a nice video title

Joel

Love all the hard work you guys put into these videos!

Stephanie M

Alt Shift X Explained would be amazing! Awesome idea ChthonicPuck!

You can skip that Yara / Euron filler scene. It was a way to show us she was still alive which only needs to be half a second long but then a bunch of drunk white noise kept coming from Euron's face flaps.

Or “What’s up with Alt Shift X” 😁

Haha, oops!! :) We have this nice saying in Germany: "Wer lesen kann, ist klar im Vorteil" - losely translated as "Blessed are those who can read" a.k.a. "my bad!" ;) Anyhow, in the latest S8E1 recap, Shift actually read my name out loud, and I'm more excited than I care to admit! :D
