Dear Me (about 10 or 20 years from now),
Have you learned how to take better care of yourself?
Have you forgiven your own past mistakes? Have you learned from them?
How is your wife doing? Have you made life as nice as it could be for her?
Have you learned to talk less and listen more?
Have you gone on long walks and noticed small stuff that’s cool to think about?
Do you still have the gift of being able to laugh about ridiculously small matters?
For instance, do certain farts still make you laugh?
Speaking of farts, are you able to take care of your parents when they need it?
Have you forgiven them?
Have you put yourself in a position, health-wise (physically and mentally) and financially, to be able to take care of others?
Have you kept that distance from those who were really hurting your life?
If there are still tough things that are NOT forgiven, have you been able to forgive the whole damn situation, to continue growing as a person?
Did you write down all the good ideas you had?
Did you ever stop dreaming big?
Did you slow down to notice the small things every day?
Did you let the small joys make you happy when you noticed them?
Have you really learned what it means to be honest with yourself, day-in and day-out?
Are you happy with the way you have influenced others?
Are you still reaching out to help people use their creativity?
Do you still play video games as a hobby or have you made better use of the years that you have with your body at maximum strength?
What are you doing to generate hope and change in your own life? In the lives of others?
When is the last time you wrote something in a journal that only you read? What do you write there?
In what ways has your mindset changed from now that you really enjoy?
Did you ever look up the names of birds and trees that you wanted to know?
Did you move on from the past, to embrace that place – the only place to get anything useful done – called the present?
Older me, what does your present look like?
And what can I do right now that will really help you out?
Can you get back to me as soon as possible?
________________________________________________________
Remember, from now on I'll be putting the prompts at the end of videos for you to write for the NEXT VIDEO UPLOADED.
THE NEXT WRITING PROMPT: Write something that includes all the senses (taste, sight, sound, smell, touch). Write about things you love, or write about an adventure, a poem, the way certain things make you feel, all of the above – just include at least one description of each sense in your writing. There's no limit on this prompt. Have fun!
______________________________________________
My next video will also contain the next chapter in the Old Man's Story.
___________________________________
Let me say right out of the gates: a huge thank you to everyone in this video. I really hadn't seen a lot of footage of the new heroes until I was actually playing them, and so I took L's trying to figure out their moves. Many of the people in this video beat me at least once.
The new heroes are definitely a challenge for the older ones, and I found that many of them have moves which directly negate Highlander's Offensive Stance Mixups, so I found myself having to be creative with raw heavies and the timing in my Offensive Stance in order to win.
I hope this video provides some help in terms of distancing, the use of raw heavies and Offensive Stance timing so you can hold your own against the Wu-Lin. (Light parrying is always helpful, but I wanted to see what could be done in neutral against players with various fighting styles.)

Bravery and Love are Nothing without Each Other
Thank you all so very much. I really have no idea how this happened, but Im grateful because this channel is beyond anything I couldve imagined when it started. That is BECAUSE OF YOU. A lot of content creators say this, but in our case (yours and mine) it really is true: your comments are actually part of the creative content on this channel now.
Therefore this video is for: those of you who love with deliberation, those of you who are in love, those of you who have been hurt by love and are healing, those of you who miss their loved ones, those of you who have lost loved ones, those of you who feel lost and need love, those of you who learn to love themselves by being loved by others, those of you who are teaching yourselves to love yourselves – also those of you who feel unloved and yet still try to become the love you seek; most of all, though, this video is for my wife, my true love.
Writing Prompt: The part of me that is hidden, that I wish I could share with the world, to make it a better place, is.... (This can be as long or short as you like, poem or prose.)
Just to clarify: Shaman is not the old mans wife. Mrs. Highlander is not in the video game, sadly. This is video is actually Mrs. Gosh playing For Honor for the first time.
This channel has gameplay but seeks to write short stories and poetry (in the descriptions) and in the comments as well.
By all means share with people who may not play video-games, and hit the notification bell if you’d like to know when the next round arrives.
As always: No being mean towards anyone in these videos or in the comments on this channel. Keep it clean, and be kind, not only here and in your gaming, but especially out there, in all our shared lives.

1) The quiet of a trees shadow; 2) the kettle boiling in the morning; 3) the sound of her heartbeat; 4) the silent images before falling asleep; 5) and that place all rivers lead – the ocean – where whales speak to each other over long distances.
Already feeling slow against the Wu-Lin, Im boxing to trying to shake off the rust for this Vortiger dude.

![one and the same [For Honor]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N4HHkOzrwEg/mqdefault.jpg "one and the same [For Honor]
One and the Same – The old man remembered back when he was a very young lad, hunting with his father one day. His father was the best fighter in all the village and had slain more Romans and rival Celts than any other man.“Father, asked the boy, if I plant an Oak, will I become strong? And if I treat my horses well, will I be swift? These were sayings around their town, and the boy was merely repeating what he’d heard.
His father stopped them from walking just as the mouth of the river could be seen through the trees. The boy heard the sound of the water going over the pebbles in the bend. His father looked up at the sun through some leaves and wiped sweat from his forehead. He tugged at the thick white braid in his beard. “Those are very good things to do,” he said, “but they will not make you strong and swift on their own. They are one in the same: strength and swiftness.”
The boy was holding a small rock he’d picked up because he liked the feel of it in his hand. When he heard what his father said he squatted down and started to make a circle in the dirt with the rock.
“If you can catch an animal with your bare hands, and build a fire anywhere, if you can remember the stories told to you, and then recite them to others, that’s a start,” said his father.
“How will that help me learn to fight?”
His father ignored his question and said, “The more you understand yourself, the better you understand the world. You should listen more than you speak.”
And to this the young boy said nothing.
“Then, if you truly know yourself, you will never rely on worldly things, and you’ll be able to fight blindfolded.”
Had the boy not followed his father’s advice, he never would have met his wife, who was from a town on the other side of that same river. When he met her, some years later, she was the most striking woman he’d ever seen, and also, being the daughter of a great Bard, he enjoyed listening to her talk about a great manner of things.
Therefore he picked one violet and one white flower, and gave them to her one day.
And therefore she twisted their stems together and did, indeed, wear them in her hair.

Note about the video: it was very fun playing with HUD in order to learn the timing on the new reworked heroes. I especially had fun playing the peacekeeper (who beat me when I was using a HUD). We had many great matches and I appreciated them all.")

One should not lose their temper in battle, and when confronted by a new and powerful enemy known as the Shinobi, the old man’s blood boiled on occasion. They were difficult to catch, to be sure, but he would have to regain his composure to keep step with these fast-moving, incredible foes.

I actually think Raider is in a pretty good spot - not sure about the amount of stamina drain on stunning tap (as seen in this video). It would be good for the overall health of the game if the dodge GB were removed some day (along with the dodge-to-unlock-roll tech) since we are given weapons in the game to use them. Raiders overall speed and strength feels alright to me. Also, shout-out to Raider mains out there (and Lawbringers!!!) whove stayed with the heroes since release. Hope youre all enjoying the reworks :)

![No HUD Max Rep HL vs. Max Rep True Kensei [For Honor]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RCsiQCchJTY/mqdefault.jpg "No HUD Max Rep HL vs. Max Rep True Kensei [For Honor]
Please Read Whole Description
Passing through foreign territory, the old man encounters a Kensei who has practiced the way of the Samurai for a very long time indeed. The face beneath the Kensei’s mask remains hidden, but something tells the old Highlander that this Samurai has many stories of his own. Never before has the old man seen someone so dedicated to a single way of fighting.
If the poet (Basho) is right, that “summer grass” is “all the remains of warrior’s dreams” then Spring might soon arrive. If the old man were home, and saw his wife feeding the birds, he would know exactly what time of year it is, but all this traveling turns life into one long season – changes in weather merely asides.
