Tommy Tallarico...ugh

Am I the only that thinks he is one of the least intelligent voices in gaming "journalism"?
His partner on Electric Playground seems to have a much more informed opinion.
Anyhow, I think this pic says it all.

DanAdamKOF · Jan 10, 2005

I know nothing of his journalism, but his music is good imo.

gamejunkie · Jan 10, 2005

He's not my favorite reviewer, but I do agree with him on a few things (very few things). The reason that he's even on the show is because he produces it.

Tallarico made his in game soundtracks.

Well, by "Journalism", I mean his weekly rants on Electric Playground. I can't believe he once called Phantasy Star Online "garbage", or something along those lines.

Yeah, I actually really like his music. Earthworm Jim race stage rocks pretty hard.

Nesagwa · Jan 10, 2005

I have no idea who this man is or why he is important.

Hell yeah! EWJ had some killer tracks. But I agree, as a reviewer Tallarico is a 'tard and a half. No, make that two 'tards.

BTW -- good that you found the Marco gif

His Skeleton Warriors soundtrack still ranks as some of the best game music ever in my opinion (very epic and Conan the Barbarian-esque if you've never heard it).

Nicely said, touche!

BTW, I am not condeming this man's music, just his strength as a reviewer!

Jedah Doma · Jan 10, 2005

He might write good music, but his game opinions suck. If it's too "kiddy" then he's too cool to like it.

galfordo · Jan 10, 2005

OMFG he's so FAGGOT!!! :eek:

When I have some time, I'll post you my personal Tommy story when I met and talked with him at the Manci Magazine premier party.

Tommy Tallarico = cockfag

RAINBOW PONY · Jan 10, 2005

tommy is a douchebag, if he knows anything about gaming, he sure has an excellent way of hiding it on his show. yeah he did some cool Midi music back in the 16-bit days, but I don't see how this qualifies him to review games, he doesn't know shit, and it's obvious EA bought him off, he gives every EA game glowing reviews, he also seems to bash sega and nintendo in every review i see.

Ghost-Dog · Jan 10, 2005

He's inevitably stuck in the '90s, while somehow resembling a trashier, more Italian version of John Stamos. I don't care much for his reviews either.

YES. I have noticed this as well.

And it has been stated but should be stated again, his career in music in -no- way qualifies him to review games. Everything I hear out of his mouth sounds like obnoxious fanboyism. It's like.... "GameFAQs...The Show!".

Chicago Cheeseburgler Crew · Jan 10, 2005

I have no idea who he is but based on that pic alone he's A-OK in my book.

Shawn Carr2o · Jan 10, 2005

He puts wireless controllers in his pants
which is getting old now. :annoyed:

JHendrix · Jan 10, 2005

He's done some good music and has good experience in the industry. He does a lot of stuff on G4-TechTV that I've seen. He gave incredible props to Nobuo Uematesu when they did an icons show on him, he even said that Uematesu is the best in the industry, far better than himself. So he at least has some humility I guess.

His reviews are hit or miss with me, so meh I dunno. He has his opinions though and he's pretty stubborn on them. Much like a lot of people are here, except he isn't an OMG HARDCORE OLD SCHOOL! guy, which is probably why he gets so much hate.

If you do get the time, I would like to hear your story VT.

Kim Kaphwan · Jan 10, 2005

That guys bashes 2-D games like no other. Especially fighters. Other than that, some of his reviews are good.

Putting wireless controllers in your pants is so cliched. I may be a little drunk but I agree with you 100.10%

HellioN · Jan 10, 2005

First time I saw this guy he said something to the effect of, "If your game has cuss words in it it's like an automatic 8 for me.".
I wrote him off as guy who don't know shit about gaming.

seba_boi · Jan 10, 2005

Any RPG automatically gets a bad rating from him....
