The Crucible: Complete
I have recently perfected my latest RPG project, The Crucible.
And before those of you who know ask, yes, it is THAT 'The Crucible'. In my version of Arthur Miller's timeless drama, you can select your character from local farmer John Proctor, exorcising minister Reverend Hale, and other local farmer Giles Corey. Whichever one you choose, however, the main quest resides with John himself as he battles to clear his name of witch-craft. This game started out (and ended as) a complete joke, but I am very pleased with how it has turned out. As short as the game is, it's infested with secrets and only you can exterminate them... or something.
I even included a new twist on the ending, which you can unlock depending on how effectively you've been searching out the hidden treasures; furthermore, if you complete ALL the quests and ALL the secrets, something special may lie in store for you...!
I might put up pictures of this game later, but there's the details for now.
In other news, the Prelims begin on Tuesday, starting right off with Business Management and Physics. Funnily enough, we still have to go to school on the Monday, which is rather annoying, but at least it's a chance to get some class revision in. (Most people will liably be skiving to revise, but let's face it, they won't be doing much.)
I think I've talked about this before, but it's true that my revision system doesn't necessitate a heavy, scheduled revision system before the exams. None of that '1 hour revision, 10 minute break' stuff for me. I revise at the exact same pace for most of the year: every few days, look over notes, etc. In the 2 month boundary before the exams, say, I'll start looking at the past papers. And keep looking at them. Over and over again, checking the answers, going through again, checking the answers... until eventually I can at least answer each question (even if I don't necessarily understand some of the answers). You can say it doesn't work, but then I'm a living testimony to the fact that it does.
I can't emphasise my ebullience for this system, and I strongly encourage ANY young school pupils out there (in the S3-S6 bracket, or indeed younger/older) to heed my advice and use my system. I didn't invent it; it came about naturally. Don't listen to what they tell you to do, do it the natural way. It seems horrible having to revise at first, but when you start doing it my way, you'll realise what I'm saying.
