    “Tommy Tallarico has more money than Pat!” Well I’m glad because that furniture company really needs their bills paid 💀

      I always find it funny when people associate money with success and respect. TT is an all round horrible person that nobody should aspire to be like. Likewise, fellow Ferrari owners* Boris Johnson, Donald Trump and Andrew Tate. Christ... Hitler was a millionaire!

      @@PikaStu666 yeah, when the only thing they can say about themselves is that they're rich, they're basically admitting that they're terrible people without a personality, and so need to brag about something nobody else cares about in order to make themselves feel better, because they're deeply insecure. Not to mention, 99.999% of very wealthy people were born very wealthy. It so rarely happens that a poor person becomes wealthy over their lifetime that it's a fraction of statistical error. Almost every single rich person in the world was simply born into a rich family, they didn't create their own wealth, it was handed to them on a silver platter.
      So it's a really sad and bizarre thing to brag about because it has nothing to do with them in the first place, nothing to do with their supposed intelligence and hard work. Like Trump tries to make himself sound like a great businessman even though his dad gave him $400 million, and trump would have earned more by now by simply putting that money into an index fund, meaning he's worse at business than doing literally nothing and collecting interest off that money he was handed.
      Tommy Tallarico is an awful compulsive liar, that people hate to work with and be around, so that's all he's got, wealth. That's the only thing about him that he sees as a good point of his personality (or lack thereof). He lies and claims he has 7 Guinness world records (which isn't actually true, he literally made them up, printer them out himself and bought his own frames for them). But that and all the other stuff he tries to brag about, it's all lies. Dumb dumb lies. He's such a sad, pathetic and insecure little man.
      I really recommend everyone watch the hbomberguy feature length documentary uncovering all of the lies that Tommy has told over the decades, it just gets crazier and crazier. The title makes it sound like it's just about who created the roblox "oof" sound effect (Tommy claims he did, even though it's now proven he didn't, because he knew if he actually had made it then he could be entitled to royalties back payments for it). But the video just keeps going because hbomberguy keeps uncovering more and more insane lies of Tommy's, you won't believe the things he tries to claim.
      Here's a link to the video, it's very well made and researched, every point that is made has multiple pieces of evidence for it, and it's also just hilarious how sad and pathetic and insecure Tommy is, the more you learn about his lies. He's a deeply troubled individual, who should probably be in prison for fraud. Anyway yeah here's the video, go give it a watch: ua-cam.com/video/0twDETh6QaI/v-deo.html

      You should definitely definitely watch hbomberguy's video about the Amico and about how Tommy Tallarico is the biggest lying fraud in video games, it's brilliant and hilarious. The title makes it seem like the video is about discovering who made the roblox "oof" sound effect, but yeah it turned into this feature length documentary when hbomberguy kept on discovering more and more insane things that Tommy Tallarico did, including basically fraud, when it came to constantly asking for more money for the Amico time and time again despite never producing anything at all with those millions of dollars. Tommy Tallarico is just a compulsive fraudulent liar. It's sad that Intellivision had to die because of him, a new Intellivision mini console or handheld could be really cool and fun, playing only games from the 80s or whatever. But Tommy promised a new modern console, stole millions of dollars from fans for it, and then never even made a prototype let alone produce the actual finished thing. He should probably be in prison.
      Even his Guinness world records are literally lies. As in he printed them out himself and bought a frame to put them in but even Guinness themselves had to basically admit he was a liar after hbomberguy emailed them about these records he claims to have.
      But yeah the video at least begins with Tommy claiming he created the roblox "oof" sound because he realised there was big money in royalties if that was the case. Problem was, he never created it, and so him constantly lying about it led hbomberguy to keep uncovering more and more lies of his. It's really sad and pathetic, the guy is a multi millionaire but is somehow deeply insecure and is that kind of liar everyone knew one of when they were schoolkids, who lies about banging all the girls and his dad being a famous football player and all sorts of ridiculous bollocks like that. Having made millions of dollars in your industry and being (at least until the video came out) pretty well respected in that industry, apparently isn't enough for Tommy. It's just sad, he's a grown ass adult ass man.
