for those that have ever heard of him, Tommy Tallarico is a musician famous for doing the music for several games, including the Earthworm Jim series
he used to have a tv show called Electric Playground hosted by him and some other guy whose name I can't remember, it was a show where they would review video games more or less
well I remember years ago when G4 first merged with Tech TV I saw an episode of EP where they reviewed Silent Hill 3 and Tommy Tallarico hated it, his reason why? because of the sound effect when Heather walks, the constant "clop clopping" sound of her boots drove him nuts
so never mind the story, graphics, characters, gameplay, what have you, he hated the game because of a sound effect
I got so mad that if he had been in the room with me I wouldn't have hesitated to punch him in the face
but seriously what an absurd reason to hate a game, what did he expect it to be silent as she walked? did he expect the developers to record hundreds of variations of the sound effect of footsteps? it's just footsteps for crying out loud, if that's all he focused on he's a fucking idiot
I can't remember what final score he gave it, but although it's been so long I can't remember much about it, I don't think he was too impressed with Silent Hill 2 either
but what was a horror game he did love? The Suffering, and why? because it contained constant foul language which is his own words "made it scarier"
so yeah, all these years later it still pisses me off when I think about it, I guess I'm bitter, and as you can probably guess I've never been a big fan of him ever since
