The documentary went through a timeline of drummers in chronological order, paying the right amount of respect to every drummer that it covered, starting with the old jazz greats before shifting gear into Rock specific territory for the rest of its run time. Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, Keith Moon, John Bonham and Roger Taylor, right up to Dave Grohl. Everyone you'd expect is touched on... Except Neil Peart, which frankly I just don't understand, especially with him passing away only last year. Anyone who knows Rock n Roll would count him as a top 5 drummer, he is every bit as influential and inspiring to young drummers as any of the others covered, in fact more so than most. It really seems like he was deliberately omitted for some reason and they could've easily squeezed him in, especially when Keith Moon is covered TWICE, and there's a kinda forced feministy bit at the end with drummers that... be honest... no one has really heard of. They at least could have talked about Meg White for that part, a female drummer who is a respected household name, and another pretty egregious omission, especially during the girl power bit. So yeah, I enjoyed it, and it wasn't a bad documentary, I would recommend it, but omitting Peart is like omitting Eddie Van Halen from a doc about guitarists.

It is certainly a factor in my opinion of Dark Souls that I'm not the type of person who easily gets angry at games. If you are easily frustrated or simply not willing to put in the attention this game deserves, just stop playing. This game has flaws, yes, but they are not the ones pointed out by so many of the negative reviews. THOSE flaws are non-existent and these people just quit the game before they even saw any real issues. It is perfectly fine to admit you are simply not compatible with this game, it is not fine to fault the game for this. Dark Souls is enchanting, it has kept my mind captive from the moment I picked it up. It is difficult but there are only a few specific moments I consider unfair. Blighttown's framerate has been fixed in the remaster and it honestly is not the hell I was led to believe, that had me full of dread as I descended through dark root. The world excites my curiosity and has me digging for information as desperately as a heroin addict, the combat is methodical, frantic, and tense and above all else no other game has matched the sense of wonder and accomplishment Dark Souls has given me. I pity the millions who will never play this game. I pity how they could never know how empty life is until Dark Souls comes along.
