What is a Neo-Gothic Castle? 

REPLY VIDEO MADE BY RobertExplains. It's truly excellent and helped clear up some serious confusion I expressed in this video on neo-gothic castles. Please watch his video, share, and enjoy.

WARNING: This video is intended for experienced Shad watchers only.

Got so confused, at one point I thought I was in the middle of an auction...Sold! I want the one with the pretty spires.

There are few things more pleasing than someone ranting about a subject they are passionate about and, what's more, know a lot about.

In it's most oversimplfied version, I see Neo-Gothic can be summed up as, "Who cares if it's practical or not doesn't it look amazing?"

Shad Fact: Shad’s daughter loved the movie Tangled so much, she and Shad have started creating their own martial art using the combat frying pan as the primary weapon.

Anyone else picture Shad making a conspiracy wall map trying to get this video right?

today i learned that architecture can be very confusing and that there's this really cool castle-looking place in Russia

His frustration at sites that are called castles but are painstakingly obviously not castles, combined with the speed at which he's speaking, is somehow very gratifying.

I always thought you could spot a neogothic castle by all its vampires and mood lighting

Awsome video but man how many Redbull did you shotgun just before making?

If it has

So to summarize:

Shad: "I condensed a 1 hour video into a quarter of that"

Hello shad. It is true that we Germans have the distinction between ‘burg’ (highly defensive medieval residence) and ‘schloss’ (magnificent noble residence). But it is not completely consistent. Some ‘burgs’ have been rebuild to ‘schlosses’ after the medieval period but still get called 'burg' because they have once been one. I don’t know if there are more inconsistencies with this terminology but that’s the one I know.

Thanks for this, I have adapted my plans. Going to build me a Baronial Neo-Gothic castle smart-home in the Colorado Rockies, except will be sure to include MACHICOLATIONS and perhaps one gatehouse just in case.

you just made me realize what difference is between a Schloss and a Burg. i knew it, but never articulated it. thx from a german speaking swiss

This might be your best work yet. I could almost hear you have an aneurysm.

Watching while drunk was not a good idea. I just heard "gothic", "neo gothic" and "castle" a bunch of times and Shad getting angry for some reason. Shad getting angry and frustrated is hilarious by the way ^_^

At double speed it's even more epic XD
