he's a narc and couldn't learn to shut up when he was ahead. No one really questioned his credentials, but the endless podcast circuit was too tempting to him so he kept yapping his mouth. The guy is sorta kinda an early pioneer, as one of the first to add live instruments to video game music in America, one of the first to release a video game soundtrack in English speaking countries.
He always got beat out a little bit - PC Engine CD titles like Gates of Thunder came out first. And he was always a music producer which is a totally valid role, he was never a composer. He just ripped people off.
It was the Amico scandal that ruined him. People started looking deeper into him, and channels have been making videos for years about his wild claims. Tommy more or less hasn't been relevant since 2005 when he last had a tv show, so he's only known in the retro game circles as "that earthworm jim music guy". I grew up on Electric Playground and found Tommy's enthusiasm charming, but I never held him in high esteem even then.
GUy should have no joke gotten into children's television. He had the energy for it.
i saw this guy live twice at "video games live" when they came to long island
pretty dope show, got to meet the japanese dude who worked on re5 and afrika's soundtrack and then one of the dudes from MYST
the funny thing about this vid is that if you search for steel reserve on youtube you'll see theres hundreds of videos of mexicans and white trash dudes chugging these things. It's like a community of drunks.
Hbomb is certainly a weird fricking guy, but credit where credit is due, all his recent videos are top tier. From the topics to the research and the the writing and how it's presented. I really struggle to think of someone who does it better. Hell, he brings up so many good points in his Deus Ex HR video that it puts most video game "essayists" to shame.
The music he supposedly worked in is fricking garbage compared to the average Japanese soundtrack. Random PC-98 eroge have better soundtracks than 99% of western games.
I remember seeing him review Max Payne on TechTV.
He gave it like a 4/10, and his only real complaint was that the footstep sound effects were muffled and low quality.
Then they did a camera cut to him and he was standing in front of a lighthouse for some reason.

Then repeating this stuff ad nauseam on very interview/podcast he could insert himself in for the past 30 years.

literally nobody cared until that gay eceleb made a video on him

The Bard’s Tale (2004)
Come gather 'round all ye bastards, and raise up a cup to this arse-turd.

He created Roblox
Never trust an Italian-American.
Worse than israelites.
Just look at those shifty eyes.
His mother is very proud
I would pay $100 to beat him up.
Probably the best yt video of all time.
Yeah, easy 10/10. Re-watched it like 3 times. Literally the perfect content for the 2nd screen.
Wrong.

Can't deny it, even after hbomberguy became the biggest homosexual in youtube history

You will never be Japanese however
黙れ、バカ
I heard he was the first American to work on Sonic
What did he mean by this?
Imagine being a head shorter than the dalai lama who's probably like 5'5 tops.
It's a wax statue
Which are build on a 1:1 scale.
>helped craft GAMER WARZ
yeah he doesn't even need to do anything else to be kino in my book
did this guy even do the earthworm jim soundtrack?
hbomberguy is a dipshit but roblox_oof.mp3 is a magnum opus
I always liked the music to MDK, but now I'm starting to wonder if he didn't just "produce" that one as well and inserting himself as composer.

Very strong Billy Mitchell energy.
I've seen his face a million times but I'm not familiar with him. Someone give me a rundown of him and why he's funny.
he's a habitual liar who just kept gassing himself up for years until someone cared enough to point out all his lies
>he's a habitual liar
That I know, but what has he claimed and what's the funny video people are talking about?
>said he was the first American to work on a Sonic game
>didn't work on a Sonic game until the late 2000s
>said he was the person who's worked on the most games in his lifetime
>counted each platform a game was released on separately
>said his house was on MTV Cribs
>it wasn't MTV Cribs
>brags about a bunch of Guinness records
>he only has them because he bought them, and no one else cared about it
>claims to be pals with Miyamoto and every other celeb under the sun
>he only has pictures together with them like those celeb/signature hunters
>said he created the Robox oof sound
>he didn't, it was some guy who worked for him
>said he created/composed a bunch of other stuff
>he didn't, it was all done by that same other guy

So he's the Billy Mitchel of devs.
More like the Hulk Hogan of video games, honestly.
Both are super based so I'm not getting the comparison.
I'll never forgive him for shitting on metroid prime
