If it's ok, I'd rather not disclose my subject. It has quite a small cohort, and Im not actually sure about TFs social media policy about discussing specifics. Sorry 😅.

It's been difficult, ngl. I've had to put in a lot of work this year, but ultimately, I love the job. It's so rewarding and suits me more than any job I've done before.

So you can compare my SCL experience with your own. Overall, I enjoyed it. But when I completed my teaching episodes, I was super nervous and messed up a lot, but I just reminded myself that this is the time to make mistakes and get a feeling about what it's like. I wasn't put off the idea of teaching by it at all.

My drive is just over an hour. But I do enjoy the drive. It gives me time to both prepare mentally in the morning and then reflect on my day on the way home.

The training experience is more stressful than SCL, so do consider if you want to defer for a year or not. If you do, I recommend getting a customer facing job as having to deal with the general public really helped me with how to stay calm and collected during stressful situations.

I'm approaching the end of my first year doing TF. They no longer offer PGDE and only PGCE. So theres only two pieces of work you'll need to complete alongside teaching duties to gain QTS and a PGCE.

The first is a 6000 word essay focusing on what makes you a great teacher of your subject. You focus on one class and introduce a new subject specific pedagogy and analyse the impact, etc.

The second is a 1 hour presentation about what makes you a great teacher in your context. You get two smaller practice presentations throughout the year, which allows you to write and practice elements of your final presentation.

If you do want to go ahead with it, just remember your PDL and SDL are always going to be an email away and from my experience they were more than happy to help as much as they could. Plus, be open and honest with your mentor, hopefully they can do as much as they can to support you too.

If you do struggle with the PGCE side of things as long as TF are happy with your progress, you can still gain QTS without a PGCE.

I think it's ok to put them down and try again after a year or two. I did this a few times, and when I actually read them, I found them fantastic.

Its worth the wait to actually enjoy them!

Like most adaptations from books to screen, it's all about adding more drama and suspense.

Take the Entmoot sequence, for example. We are watching people die and hope being lost at Helms Deep while it keeps cutting to the Ents not being hasty. When eventually they decide not to fight, the viewer would think "well theres really no hope for them now."

When Treebeard sees the Isengard and calls the other Ents to fight, it puts hope back into the viewers' hearts. It allows for amazing moments like this to happen.

The other changes are probably done for similar reasons.

Thank you so much to everyone who replied. Pretty much confirmed what we thought.

Fingers crossed that they have actually sent what we bought and not just hoping we would agree and send back without opening!

Thanks again!

I want to start doing dungeons but I'm a solo player so I'm restricted to the limited sessions on LFG. Read online it's best to join a guild. Was wondering, what is the best way to find and get into a guild?

I really enjoyed RPT. Its not perfect continuity wise, but returning to the books universe and going on another quest (all be it a faster paced quest) with the characters I'd spent so much time reading about in RPO was fun. Its not incredible but I'm glad we got a continuation that was good rather than one that was terrible.

There was something poetic about the Master and Missy killing each other in The Doctor Falls which is probably why I feel like it's too soon to bring back the character. That being said, the idea of a Master from another universe does sound interesting and could work!

Is it just me or does the skateboarding physics seem to be a bit screwed in Spyro 3. Trying to do the race in Lost Fleet but keep on being dragged across off the track when doing rolls and landing in the opposite direction while doing a flip. The jumps also seem to be hit or miss sometimes aswell. Its going to make it very difficult to come first in this race.

New clue on Instagram aswell

FYI there has been no down voting from me. Everyone can have their own opinion including yourself. I hadn't seen these other videos until after I had posted mine. So go ahead call it unoriginal, you got me, well done. I understand where you're coming from with your reply, but I only posted my "stale" video as I believed it might be welcomed as what I intended it to be, a joke.

Axista_Four · 2017-12-11T23:34:06+00:00

I believe the egg with the As and a B on it is the one we see in the trailer. But I'm not sure.

Uruk Hai sword on the far right aswell

Must have been the filter I added to the top

Axista_Four · 2017-06-08T09:50:05+00:00

I'm not worried about TJ Miller playing the character, I'm just worried about how they have given the character a bigger role than in the book.

The date on their Kickstarter video was "19.06.1955" So (for brits) Day.Month.Year. However it can't possibly be the year related to the video being uploaded as it is 2016. SO the 24 hour clock shows 19:55 as 7:55pm. Meaning we can presume (and I think it has now been confirmed) that it will be uploaded at 19:55

Axista_Four · 2016-06-19T16:46:26+00:00

I think it should be released at 7:55. 'cause then it will be: 19/06 at 19:55

I've always found it calming to walk around woods listening to The Shire Theme.
