Hi everyone,

For those who might remember, "The Blind Man's Tale" was an old 12-minute Silent Hunter III video/story that I created way back in 2005, soon after SH3 was released. Obviously, it's not technically very fancy, but I wanted to make up for it with a good atmosphere and story. For those who don't remember - well, it was a little video that told a story of the memories of an old submariner, incorporating a bit of the animated series Monster in the introduction where the protagonist meets just such a character - an blind U-boat veteran in his 80s to whom the horrors of war still stand out clearly. The video also uses the soundtrack from said animated series.

A full version of the video hasn't been available anywhere for almost 3 years, as it was too long for youtube and all my previous permanent hosts went down. A shorter, 7-minute version has been on youtube for a while, but it is incomplete and the quality is fairly poor.

However now that I've realized that youtube allows videos over 10 minutes, I put it back up.

For those that care to give it a look, or those who remember it from way back and wished to see it again - enjoy
