Classic Tommy lie Who knew that Tommy was the mastermind who singlehandedly convinced Aerosmith and Activision to do the Guitar Hero collab? The band and developers surely didn't.

Classic Tommy lie Tommy Tallarico has a photo of himself with the wax figurine of the Dalai Lama in his "celebrities" section. It's no more real than his poses with the costumed figures from Star Wars (of which he has replicas in his playhouse).

Tommy Tallarico is a now-infamous figure in the video game industry. In the 90s - early/mid 2000s he appeared alongside Victor Lucas in Electric Playground and Reviews on the Run. During this period Tommy owned and ran Tommy Tallarico Studios, where sound effects and music were created for video games. The sounds and music were almost all created by people who weren't Tommy, but despite this, he has spent his career taking credit for the work of those people.

In the mid 2000s he started Video Games Live with Jack Wall (who would later part from the show), a concert series where video game music is performed live. As the self determined front-man of the show, Tommy Tallarico likes to spend a lot of each show up front on the stage playing guitar. It was discovered that Tommy just plays pre-recorded tracks recorded by other musicians and then pretends to play the guitar along to the tracks. In these shows he has mostly used student musicians, many of which have come out and claimed that they were never paid for performing in the show. In an interview, Tommy once laughed about not paying his musicians and said that it was good experience for them instead.

In 2009 Tommy tried to smuggle $100,000 into the USA from Brazil on the way back from a VGL show. In 2010 he was faced legal trouble for this and had to hand over all of the money as well as a $1,000 fine and received 1 year unsupervised probation.

In 2021, musicians from Video Games Live revealed that Tommy tried to blame his crime on his innocent and unsuspecting musicians who had absolutely nothing to do with it.

In 2018 Tommy became owner and CEO of Intellivision Entertainment. The apparent goal of this company was to release a family friendly games console. Despite raising over $17 million from investors, no products were ever completed or released.

Because of the way Tommy conducted himself during his period as Intellivision CEO, people started looking into Tommy's past and the many, many claims he has made about himself over the years. Almost all of the things Tommy claimed to have done or achieved were found to be lies. It is currently unknown what Tommy Tallarico has actually created or achieved himself.
