      Are you sure it doesn't cost $100. I mean, how can I trust what you say, if you didn't inform the price through some obscure third rate youtube channels like Smash JT, or DJC. I mean, that's the way professional companies do it. Right?😂

    The funniest thing about this entire saga to me is that you beat him by just not talking to him. Seeing his rant it's so obvious he thinks he's gifted with some sort of magical silver tongue that can immediately win anyone to his side and he seems to really think he could have done the same to you guys. The fact that you never gave him the chance clearly destroyed him and I'm in romantic love with it. Well played.

      Silver tongue, yes but not magical.
      He seems to be deep into the "Cluster B" personality disorders. Hints for that are:
      - Has to make himself look good at any opportunity. (You had some of that here. "HE worked with Miamoto san". "HE wants to reach out", Makes his Company look like it made the original Intellevision. etc. ...)
      - Will only admit to minor mistakes and only if he can put a "I'll be better" type of sentence after it.
      - Emotional manipulation. "HE is not mad. Just disappointed". "Think of all the people he employs", etc. ...
      - And the most telling one. He wants to argue until you are tired of arguing with him and either give him, what he wants or start to compromise.
      - That is also, why he wants to talk personally, behind closed doors, to anyone criticizing him or his product.
      - Also lies. Lots and lots of lies.

    Watching this was pretty sad. My first exposure to Tommy Tallarico was through gaming magazines. I specifically remember walking through the grocery store with my mom and thumbing through a copy of EGM where Tommy was interviewed about Wild9 for the PS1. I thought it was cool that a creative music guy had found his niche in video games.
    To see him descend into an hour-long frothing of subtle manipulation attempts which all stem from a clear inability to accept helpful criticism or SIMPLY disregard it if he finds it not to be helpful... is, as Tommy said... disappointing.

    • @ccricers

      Tommy fell out of relevance as gaming magazines died too, so he's kind of lost and very unknown to gamers outside of a certain generation. Aside from having co-founded Video Games Live which honestly looks like a good show, Tommy's BS-ing aside.
      Scott the Woz is about half his age, and when Tommy replied to Scott on Twitter to "hook him up" after he posted a picture of his old consoles (which included Intellivision), Scott did not answer. He's just not that relevant to a younger crowd. Most of his sycophants are middle-aged guys more closer to him in growing-up gaming experiences.

    As an outsider looking in on this entire saga over what feels like a millennia, I think it's safe to say that Mr. Tallarico is going through the world's LONGEST midlife crisis. He feels that he must be this "big shot video game creator" and that anyone who brings him down to a level of embarrassment is personally attacking him and his ego now. He absolutely cannot take criticism, based on the tweets he showed in his own video! He makes wild claims on a regular basis (i.e. working on the Wii WITH Miyamoto). And then he backtracks when he realizes he's been had and tries to become "your friend" and asks you to come to his home like a crazy ex girlfriend wanting to get back together with you. I'm glad that his insanity is out there and hopefully, more sane people will see this man for the lunatic he appears to be.

    I remember Tommy when he was touring as Master of Ceremonies with Videogames Live. I remember him introducing himself to the crowd as a "composer whose worked on over 300 video games". And I remember thinking to myself "300 videogames? Well, I just dropped a bunch of money on a ticket to a symphony concert featuring music by some of my favorite video game composers...so how come I've never heard of you?". His wikipedia page mentions 84 games....and he didn't even do the music for a lot of them (just SFX or some other project role).
    His whole on-stage persona was just....He had the vibe of a dude who always wanted to be a rock star, but was piggybacking off of this entirely different medium to try and live that dream. I was used to other Symphony Projects like "Distant Worlds" (Final Fantasy) and "Symphony of the Goddesses" (Zelda) where it's really more about the music. For VGL it just seemed like Tommy was trying to make it all about himself. Which was WEIRD, since 90+% of the setlist that night wasn't even his music!!
