Thought this was funny
Don't think I've ever seen a composers work being defined as "compiled". I wonder if they realize this isn't a selling point.
This part sounds like something Tommy would have wanted on a game description too

It also reads like a forum post, complete with the typo. Poor Space Invader, he didn't stand a chance.I came across Shark! Shark on the eshop.

That bullet point is basically boasting that Tommy went onto a stock music site and downloaded a couple of tracks.
That's because the OST is a compilation of stock music. He didn't compose shit.I came across Shark! Shark on the eshop.

I keep seeing "air guitarist." Did something come out stating that he doesn't actually play guitar?Tommy theair-guitaristrockstar is back
Not defending him; I'm just curious.
Oh God. Strong Chris Jericho is a rockstar vibesTommy theair-guitaristrockstar is back
Yeah some comparisons were made showing that his playing syncs perfectly to existing backing tracks, and then those comparisons were compared with other VGL videos to show that the music is the same across lots (all?) of them.
If nothing else, Tommy has certainly driven the many sleuths of the Internet to do some digging on him. (It helps that virtually everything they find is damning.)
Yeah I noticed haha
TBH I wasn't really aware of the guy until I watched that hbomberguy takedown
Numerous people who have worked in the past on Video Games Live have confirmed that it is playback. I think it was last year when Video Games Live had a show in South America and Tommy messed up on hitting the playback button (its a giant button he stomps on) and the guitar solo cut in and out making it obvious that it wasn't live.
I've also never been able to find a video of Tommy playing guitar on his own and several people have reached out to me and suggested that he might not be able to play the guitar at all based on how he holds his hands when he air guitars.
The few clips of him playing piano at his home sounds really crude and novice level. I don't believe he knows how to really play instruments.
There should be a bounty up for grabs for whoever can find a video of Tommy actually playing guitar. No on-stage antics, just him, by himself, playing guitar. Like a big internet treasure hunt.
I think they need to update it to say more than 350 games actually. And it should say Veritable Videogame Icon Tommy Tallarico™
All the air guitar talk and this got posted yesterday:

We did a bunch of legwork in here and then the person who put out the video above sort of took up the mantle around the same time. I don't see any way he's not faking it based on the results of the audio matching I did.
I'm confused. Are we saying the audio recorded on a phone during the concert precisely matches the audio from the (professionally recorded) CD?
Theoretically, in any and all of the audio from every recorded performance of VGL the guitar tracks match up. It was 100% true in the bunch that I tried from performances years apart.
I was looking around YouTube to see if I could find any footage of Tommy playing a guitar outside of a concert, and the closest I could find was him silently fiddling with a bass guitar(?) at the beginning of an episode of Reviews on the Run.

A whole episode set in a music store, with guitars all over the place, and he only picks up a bass guitar for a few seconds. You could say "oh, he can't play anything for copyright reasons", but his whole schtick was amassing song credits.
Not anything solid, but jt's still weird.

Tommy shreds in this one

That was during an over two hour long stream one of his fans put on for Tommy called "The World of Music and Games", and that was the only time Tommy "played" anything in it.

IIRC I think he's even said in interviews he cannot read sheet music (?). There was a video floating around of a very, very old performance of an actual band he was in pre-"Fame"... where I think he was a keyboardist?
But yeah, for a "rockstar game god" or whatever, he's... really, really reluctant to actually play them as anything but a piped-in solo at VGL concerts. He's given how many interviews, including many where he shows off owning a lot of guitars, but never even strums them a bit. Like, seriously, he's got a gigantic freaking ego and looooves talking about how cool he is, so you'd think if he was even passable he'd just strum the first few notes of one of the many themes he's "composed" and that he owns, but footage of Tommy actually playing guitar is rarer and of more dubious provenance, than footage of bigfoot.
I was sort of hoping Ubisoft had sold on their Activision streaming rights to Amico in return for some NFTs
Lol. So he plays air drums and then picks up a guitar but makes the sounds with his mouth.
Well, actually three "Amico games" (Dynablaster, Shark Shark and Astrosmasher) just released on Steam and other consoles.
And yep, they do not seem so "hot", actually, especially in terms of features of contents.
(also, quite sadly there are Steam users who casually just reviewed them...)
didn't realize that the games were out on Steam.
went to have a look on steamdb how they are selling and ... yeh that's about what I expected

I wonder if Steam sales will even cover the costs of porting the games to PC.
Not to defend Tommy at all (I do not believe he can play guitar) but I'm a games composer, I play keyboard and am learning guitar but I can't read sheet music. You don't need to be able to do that to play or make music. Though it would certainly be a useful skill I wish I had.
That said, onto "Diamondz in the Rough"…

I think they were selling themselves a bit short by only considering 3 billion people to be their potential audience. There are over 8 billion people on earth, and who knows how many Non Human Intelligences there are flitting around our skies in their fancy UAP's.How it started:
How it's going:
Jeff Gerstmann played Astrosmash and Shark! Shark! that were released recently. His thoughts about the games differ slightly from good old DJC.

No one shits stuff like Jeff, I say he even went light this time
I truly, truly don't understand these guys and their little Amico cult. It's so strange.
I love how DJC sounds like he's trying to convince himself these games are good.
It's so fascinating lol. There is sooo much that most people probably don't even know about too, it goes so deep.
So true. Though part of me wonders if he didnt think it was worth it (to go in hard on the stuff), like - they dont deserve that much attention. Lets just laugh at them then move onto shit that actually matters.
But its so true that they look like launch Xbox 360 store/indie games before we started getting amazing indies like Super Meat Boy. Its the kind of thing you'd have paid 400 points for, played for 10 minutes, then had instant regrets. That shit is 15 bucks now lol, I cant imagine paying that when there's so many great indie titles released weekly (heck, Atari themselves put out bangers for half the price!)
DJC is so profoundly embarassing.
Is he just selling shirts with the Tab cola logo? Obviously it's not really a problem because I can't even picture the type of sub-DJC loser you'd need to be to even consider buying DJC merch, but I'm pretty sure that's still an active Coca-Cola trademark.
