why am i getting ytp vibes?
6:21
they are right… but nothing will ever come close to the sound of the AC-130 firing a cannon shell. thats true terror…
These guys looking wild
U should have chosen warframe sounds, they are awesome and very complicated
2:00 why does my guy sound like joaquin phoenix joker?
surely they told them the games that went with each sound effect, if not, then my guy just guessed the right game based off of the footsteps
Anyone who remembers Tommy on Electric Playground knew the footstep noises comments were coming, I vividly remember him bringing them up in almost every review he did. I had no idea he was a sound guy when i was a kid so i thought it was CRAZY he always was bringing it up
Tommy sounds like he does a really good Tom Hanks impression
7:45 AMEN
I have no idea what some of them are even talking about
GRANDDDDDD THEFT,,,, AUTOOOOOOOO IS NOT HEREEEEEE.
I made the Lancer sounds in the Gears of War example. Good times. 🙂
I’m surprised Tommy Tallarico didn’t claim he made every single sound they looked at in this video
True
I’m surprised you wrote this comment and were convinced that you’re capable of independent thought, instead of being just another Hbombergoy paypig
His mother is very proud
He also made the sounds here for the video specifically!
Tommy Tallarico is a joke
his mother is very proud
Why no Call of Duty?
6:42 Tommy you taught me the importance of footsteps sounds back in the TechTV days (or G4 can’t remember). And I’ve continued to rate games on how good their footstep sounds are, and recommending to my friends the games that have the best footsteps sounds. It’s the only thing I’m an expert in
Fun fact, tommy tallerico made all these. He actually made them before the games came out.
His mother is very proud
Wow. I can’t believe Tommy worked on Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. His mother must be very proud
Hearing Tony Hawk brought back a WAVE of nostalgia
Was one of the games my brothers and I would play all the time 20+ years ago
Is that veritable video game industry icon Tommy Tallarico?
