He, they usually called him the Predator. He was one of the oldest fighters in his network of top class athletes and had fought a lot of fights. Remembering just like it had been yesterday when this new challenge poped up and he was the only one taking it like a man, to be honest his surrounding had been a lot older then he had been, but neither less he walk into the octagon and fought for his live.
The fight had been close, really close but after a short break when his coach, a blessed man, gave him some of these new 4GB ram sticks instead of his usual 2GB he some how managed to obtain the upper hand and landed a straight punch on the nose of his opponent. The opponent, at that time THE highest ranked out there, tumbled back searching for a clear frame, a texture that was too big, but since the Predator had been prepared good enough by his coach he charged forward and took him down.
After this fight there was not one person questioning his place at the top, but just like every other champion he had to face even more challenges and in this one night everything changed.
The moment you let yourself down is the moment you lose. Well at least that's what everybody says to this day, but just because you failed once there is no reason to not try it again. In this one night he faced the to this date biggest challenger that has ever been there. It was the night of his coaches birthday. The evening went great the drank, they ate and the laughed together, but then a new guest joined their party. A new guest? I guess I didn't really tell the truth right here. In fact the guest didn't come alone they entered the party as one big pack and stood there united under the banner of their sponsor, Ubisoft. The pack that broke the peaceful atmosphere called them self ACU. A stands for Assassins, C is the first letter of Creed and the U represents the word Unity. They stormed towards him and took him down immediately, he did try to defend him self but every trick he tried was countered in an instant and after texture hit his head everything went black and he lost his consciousness. Nobody that was present at that day ever talked about it and the day was voided and.
However it has not been his last meeting with ACU, but since they beat him this easily he decided to prepare for his next clash with them. The person which helped him the most at this time, has probably been his coach supporting him and pushing him to the limit until he could proudly say, he had beaten his biggest weakness and his 420 GTX evolved and got stronger better and more 760 GTX.
Since then to this day he overcame every challenger daring to challenge him.
Since this is no fairy tale this story does not have a happy ending.
After five years of fighting and going through ups and downs he now has to pay the price for all those hits he took. His CPU slowly, but surely is losing it's capability of carrying him trough his life. Slowly, but surely his strength starts to decrease and everything accomplishment he has ever made starts to fate away.
But what stays? What is it that the next generation that will come, and it will come as sure as there is the world orbiting the sun, as sure as there is my thought pushing my fingers down to write these lines, will keep?
They will keep his legacy.
They will see what he was able to accomplish by pushing him self to the limits.

Enough of this, today is the one day to gather in front of a tree and sing songs of a child being born in a town far, far away from here.
Since this day, is a day of gathering as a family I won't be streaming.
Wishing all of you a merry Christmas and a lot of fun!
