We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
It'd be a nice house if you stripped out essentially every single ounce of decorations, including the topless bar carvings.

What does he have to do with video games? He's just some scamming weirdo with a weird house.

he started his career as the composer of the Cool Spot soundtrack

He's actually credited on Music & FX in quite a few games of the 16-bit era and later

He's credited at Music & FX in MDK lmao

This is where I know him from. He seemed cool back then, but I was also just a dumb teenager at the time so I wouldn’t have known.

Given recent things uncovered about him, I don't believe he did any of the games stuff.

It IS vitally important though to know that HBomberGuy's research into Tommy Tallarico has proven that his most tangible claims to fame, being Guinness records and being featured on MTV's Cribs, are both either complete lies (he was on a show that was basically a Great Value version of MTV's Cribs for some random awards show) or stretched so far beyond plausibility that the truth does not matter (his Guinness awards are for things that, if they happened, were 1/100th as cool as claimed)

He is basically a huge piece of poo poo and I am so glad that I called this out (and everybody clapped) 20 years ago when InXile made a big deal of him doing the music for the 2004 Bard's Tale and I was like "if he is a PC gaming music legend you would think I, someone who has played hundreds bordering thousands of PC games, would have heard of him before today"

Bard's Tale 2004 could've used more songs, so I place the blame for that squarely on him. Otherwise it's a real funny game (Tony Jay and Cary Elwes are great).

God, you vindictive bitch, why can't I ever have any "me" time

Seemingly everything Tommy has ever been credited with is piece by piece turning out to have been underhanded falsifications. The Earthworm Jim 1+2 soundtracks were actually ghostwritten by Tony Bernetich, Mark Miller, and Christophe Beck. At this point I'm not sure if Tommy is even directly responsible for mixing those compositions down to work on 16-bit consoles, he probably got someone else to do that as well!!!

Agreed, I did really enjoy that game and what songs there were were good enough and very occasionally great, so Tommy probably did not write them

That is one of the craziest ones in my opinion, that he claims to have done all of the music and sound design on Metroid Prime 1 & 2, and worked very closely right next to Miyamoto. When in reality his company did a very small amount of work and then Nintendo went with someone else for a 3rd party to help with the music and sound design. And this was only on Metroid Prime 1.

Nah, that's exactly why I said that it needed a better title. And if Tommy gets pinched for fraud, I hope HBG considers doing so because it's a good video and the media will probably mine it for info/coverage/whatever else and he deserves the credit for documenting it all.
