So maybe start letting that work speak for itself instead of spending 15 minutes explaining how you created the sound effect of a little kid going “oof”.Ĭontrast that to Joey who probably heard about the Roblox thing and was like “neat, glad people like it!” and then just went about his business. You’ve got a cool house, lots of money and a body of work that speaks for itself. You don’t need to be king of the world to be a successful artist. Someone pointed out earlier upthread that his cousin is Steven Tyler, and how this probably gnaws at him. You wrote video game music, an extremely niche field, and people were so invested in your work or even just your contribution to the genre that they came to see you perform it live. First American to ever work on a Sonic game. The fact that Tallarico composed music for Sonic and the Black Knight, a fairly recent game for a very popular video game console that probably millions of people played and have heard his songs, is *extremely* cool.īut no, gotta lie and make it sound like an even bigger deal. I think what galls me about Tommy’s self-aggrandizing and lying is that if you look at his actual, honest-to-God accomplishments, he does have a lot to be proud of! Like, I am a diehard Sonic fan, if you were responsible for even just one second of audio appearing in like, a Sonic game for the Sega Pico in 1994, I find that really cool. This direct and very focused attention could certainly draw him back out to some channel – but most of the places he used as a microphone throughout the Amico debacle have dried up. Tommy's Twitter has been dark for most of the year – really only tweeting about his father's health issues and passing.A handful of the YouTubers and Twitch streamers that he regularly dropped in on, as seen throughout the video, "turned" – either trying to plea they got duped, or just no longer talking about it regularly.The grip that the company had on the r/Amico subreddit (which Tommy regularly posted to) started to slip eventually the subreddit would be considered abandoned, taken over by the competing r/Intellivision_Amico moderators, and subsequently shut down.That Facebook group saw most of the people from the company involved vanish, including Tommy (who was a mod!).AtariAge leadership made a related decision to nuke the entire Amico forum. He made a rather public gesture to stop posting on AtariAge in favor of a private, company-moderated Facebook group.The video does reference that Tommy is no longer CEO at Intellivision (just "Founder / President / Chief Creative Officer"), but that change has seemed at times to have not entirely been his decision. He likely does, but it's unlikely we'll hear it.
