In the trailer, Donkey sings Roxanne - The Police in jail. However, Eddie Murphy does the exact same thing in both 48 Hrs films, but not in a jail cell. Do you think this was intentional, writers running out of ideas or by complete accident?
The Kill was the first song I heard from Guitar Hero: World Tour and I loved it. I listened to their first album and I loved the sort of spacey atmosphere it has and the album cover with the kid in spacesuit really does clash well.
A Beautiful Lie was more mainstream but the album cover still felt in line with the band and it was still a decent album.
This Is War is the album I want to talk about and I don’t have interest in the later albums. I do honestly think the album cover is a bit of a downgrade but weirdly suits the charm of the album, with the face of the Lion/Tiger. My favourite track is Night Of The Hunter.
This Is War has a really good groove on the verse and has a good military sense but I just feel the chorus doesn’t hit for me emotionally. Closer To The Edge doesn’t click for me either.
But Kings And Queens is the one song that I’ve listened to multiple times and I want to love but sadly, the emotion doesn’t kick in for me. The rest of the song is fine but I feel the chorus is really weak, a lot of the lyrics just feels a bit too choral and choir like and a bit simple. I personally think this song should have been more ambitious and not afraid to not be verse, chorus, etc…
I’ve seen the music video and the song still doesn’t click for me. I’ve tried turning lights off and closing my eyes and it doesn’t work.
FriendlySpaceNinja said that Dark is his favourite TV series of all time. I tried watching the first four episodes and my mind kept wandering and couldn’t fully get into it. I tried again but stopped around Episode 8 and just used my phone as a distraction.
I then decided to give it a third shot but with the original German audio with English subtitles. Watched first three/four episodes and tried to keep my full attention but it didn’t really click for me. I looked at Wikipedia plots and they explained more I didn’t realise happened in them episodes.
I want to be able to view this series like everyone else and be mind melted by it. Does anyone have any suggestions or could it be a case this series is just not for me?
Okay, I can admit that Avril Lavigne and Paramore aren't my favourites but the songs and Airhead are very catchy. I'm really glad they're going broad but focused. They're not doing a GH5 and including tracks you won't remember afterwards.
Here are some opinions about where I'd like it go next but I'm very open minded and confident with what comes next:
I'd like another song from Brand New. GH5 did set the bar low with Sowing Season (Yeah) as it's very slow but the band does have some more heavier and catchier stuff. My pick would be The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows.
Bon Jovi deserves a deep cut. In These Arms would be a good shout or maybe one from the These Days album like the title track.
If they're going to include Green Day, either include a song from a much earlier album or their latest album because a huge part of their catalogue is based around their biggest hits from Rock Band. Nuclear Family being an exception.
There are a lot of classic rock staples eager for an on disc moment such as Mötley Crue - Kickstart My Heart and Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize.
But for the heavier prog and Metal stuff, stuff with energy is what's going to come out so:
- Slayer, Pantera and maybe Sepultura should make a debut
- Obviously Avenged Sevenfold
- People are going to fight for GOAT - Polyphia lol
- Eclipse and Dynazty are deep cut bands I think should include
- A Marc Hudson era DragonForce song
- I'd like more Strung Out, maybe a song from Transmission Alpha Delta like Rats In The Walls
A lot of bands still to make their debut in an on disc:
- Three Days Grace
- Periphery
- Sevendust
- Between The Buried And Me (another song from colors would be awesome)
- The Amity Affliction
- As I Lay Dying
I think this setlist will be a banger but these are more just suggestions than anything else!

All 3 I discovered through Discover Weekly on Spotify and they are criminally underrated. Even if one of them makes the cut, I’ll be pleased. Even if they just get put as DLC, I’ll be pleased.
I've been trying to remember a space-themed Flash game I played as a kid, most likely on the Nick Jr. website (though I can't be 100% certain).
​
The gameplay was very simple: there were 5 stars placed across the screen, and you had to click them in order to connect them dot-to-dot. Once you'd connected all 5, a rocket would follow the path you'd drawn and fly diagonally across the screen from one corner to the other.
​
When the rocket reached the end, a child character would celebrate with something like **"Da Da Da!"** — a sung/voiced little fanfare. The whole thing was very cartoony and aimed at very young kids (preschool age).
​
It may have been tied to a specific Nick Jr. show but I can't remember which one. I first played it around age 5 (born 2001) but went back to it around age 13, so it was still accessible around 2014 before Flash was shut down.
​
Any ideas?
I am a seasoned guitar player on Expert but not uber pro lol. I heard that someone lost a lot of weight playing drums. So, I have had a World Tour kit for quite a while.
Been playing Rock Band gradually easing up and it was a lot of fun actually. However, I've hit a roadblock on Reptilia Hard.
I've tried playing World Tour on drums but it is so boring. Bass was boring as well. Guitar is the king with World Tour, as it is a lot of fun.
Even on the TOOL songs, I can't get engaged.
But the drum layout does feel nicer to play with the more lenient timing window as well so there's that.
Band Hero had me quitting playing the guitar after two songs.
So, has anyone played any of the other Rock Band or Guitar Hero games that include drums and actually had a lot of fun? If so, recommend me some songs or other games that might help me get into the instrument more.
Terminator Oscillator: Obviously the headline song for the game at this point, it’s a banger
Dani California: Was sceptical as it was in Rock Band 1 but this is a different game entirely so it gets a pass
Mimi’s Delivery Service: Nice ska sounding riff that sounds fun to play on Lead
Ratatata: Wow, this song was actually a banger and fills a stadium
Square Hammer: One of the songs I wanted is actually included, that made me so happy
Get The Funk Out: Nice groove line and it actually kind of surprised me
Island In The Sun: An actual chill guitar track that is most memorable for “hip hip”
Overall, it might take me a couple more tries to appreciate the songs as I’m not sure if they played slightly too safe but I am satisfied and can’t wait to hear more song announcements!
I discovered this band through the song Calling on Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock. I have listened to every album in their discography but no song has had the same emotional stance for me as Calling. It’s a shame because I thought I would love this band if I just found the right way to appreciate it. Maybe this band just isn’t for me overall.
If anyone has any tips that got them more into the band, fire them my way!
My friend made me this CD 10 years ago to get me into more music. Would like to hear people's opinions!

Has anyone played Rock Band with the Guitar Hero drums? That's what I've been doing and just starting on Easy. I've done the first three tiers out of six for Easy.
I thought the premonition scene was brilliant, fresh, unique and really well done. It was genuinely frightening to watch.
I can say since the first film up to 5, they repeated the same storyline over and over again. Someone has a premonition, it starts playing in real life, death comes back to the people who were meant to die. I’m glad this movie did something different at least. The core idea is still the same but now the subtitle eloquently puts it as it’s now about a family tree.
I have only seen this movie twice, one year apart and I don’t get the love this movie gets. The characters just feel really generic overall, the deaths seemed to happen and then it just quickly jumpcuts to the next scene. I liked the setup for Erik’s tattoo shop death (even though I know it wasn’t his real death). The ending was really rushed and it kind of felt like it was common knowledge someone drowning, you can revive them and it doesn’t count as death.
Obviously, I loved the return of William Bludworth. Tony Todd made the film remind us it’s still a Final Destination film. I could see how sick he looked and his passing is unfortunate. RIP man. I wish he referenced Alex Browning instead of Kimberly because I get the reasoning but Alex was the first one of the films to have a big impression so I thought it would work canonically. I did really like how him as a kid was part of someone else’s premonition. Will definitely make me think differently when I rewatch them all again.
Iris having the notebook but her knowing she would die when she stepped outside and then immediately did was kind of dark.
Overall, I will say this is definitely not the worst film. It at least did something new for this franchise, the premonition was brilliant and it added a bit of context. But I felt the characters just didn’t engage me throughout and I just saw it as a mediocre horror film. It lacked the darkness that made the first film so endearing.
This is just my opinion but I would like to know your thoughts in the comments below! Maybe you can help me love this film!
So, I first watched the Australian version with my mum and we loved it, especially Michael. It was a shame that never returned for a third series, up to now. I really want a UK version of this show as that's where I'm from. I used to like The Undateables (although the people in charge of the title should be sued).
Me and mum have watched the US version and it's been a blast. I first saw Tanner when he met Jack Black and it was such a brilliant moment.
Our favourite is probably James and his banter with his parents winding him up is so funny. I love how Shelley is so laid back and from TikTok, James is actually a lot calmer in real life.
I was sad that Connor and Georgie didn't last but it is understandable. Connor reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite. Dani I was a bit unsure on but she's just very direct with her needs and loves her animation. Henry seems like a very decent gentleman. I didn't like how Solomon reacted to her breaking up with him as it was very clear he got his heart broken, Adan took it better as it was a mutual decision but I still like watching Dani.
I was sad over Abbey and David because they were good for each other but I could see why that happened again.
Maddison is just so cute and she's the type of girl I would want to go and hug. Tyler is so Country and western based and I'm so happy for them two. One of the most heart warming scenes in Season 4 is a lot of the cast joining together for their engagement party. It's very lovely how they all stayed in touch with each other on TikTok and how they have all joined to make friends, they're not all separate.
Now about the newcomers (I don't remember about Pari a lot, I know she stayed with her girlfriend I believe. There could be others I've forgotten about which I apologise if that's the case):
I really like Logan and it was a shame that it didn't work out with Hayley (who looks like Avril Lavigne). She did seem a bit uncomfortable and just went along to make Logan happy. I really hope he does find the one. I like how he has joined with Abbey doing singing.
Dylan reminds me of Mario and I love how geeky and spontaneous he is. Emma is quite nice as well.
Now, there are some people I really want an update on how they are doing as they have disappeared since Season 1. Kaellyn is on TikTok but I don't really watch her. Subodh is one I enjoyed with Season 1, I hope he is still with Rachel (or the name of the girl he was with).
One person that my mum adored was Steve. He had a very narration, interesting voice and it was a shame we never saw more of him.
I hope that in a potential Season 5 we get more older people on the show for a wider representation. Maybe a gay bloke so more LGBTQ+ people are present as well.
P.S. I love that guy on TikTok who impersonates a lot of the male contestants on this show. Tanner has reposted some of them so there's no offence.
Forgive me, I was a huge fan of Lostprophets before I obviously found out about Ian Watkins!
I've rewatched the trailer now a few more times and I can admit, I think the first impressions has started to die down a bit and now I am actually wanting to see more of it soon. I was very sceptical at first but there is barely any footage which is a good thing.
I have made a Spotify playlist named Stage Tour and I've added Terminator Oscillator - Static X. I'll add more songs as more songs get announced.
When I was sceptical, I kind of thought that song was like Stage Tour's theme but now I've listened to the song a couple of times, it's a freaking banger!
I am remaining optimistic that there will be songs I will have never heard of but it makes me more excited as I want to discover new music and I have even sent a form with some suggestions that I don't think many people have heard!
