Tommy Tallarico, the prolific game music composer, TV star, non-profit organization founder, and concert tour creator joins us on an extended edition to discuss a multitude of topics. Included in the interview is G4's Judgment Day and where it has gone. Also we talk about the freak chance encounter that landed Tommy in the business. We also answer the question of if Tommy really hates Nintendo because he was 'fired' from Metroid Prime. (However, we apologize for the audio popping during this question and answer - there were technical difficulties but what was there was too good to cut!) Then we turn to Video Games Live, delving into why it starts with Pong and why you should trust them to not cancel a third time. Also we get some EXCLUSIVE UPCOMING DATES that have NOT been announced - you may be able to ALREADY BUY TICKETS for certain cities! We also answer the question about if Final Fantasy is going to be included or not. We drag ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE out of Tommy that will make anyone in a high school band VERY excited! We then ask Tommy why he rigged the GANG awards (which will be broadcast LIVE on All Games Radio) to give Advent Rising 10 nominations, and then discuss the amazing process behind some of his work on Advent Rising - which we then play for you. Afterwards, we read an email from a listener about sports games - is 2K Sports making a Legends of Football game, and why can Midway make an MLB game if Take-Two has the exclusive rights? Once again, we apologize for the technical difficulties, PLEASE bear through them and enjoy the content. Tommy sure knows how to talk, and we weren't interested in stopping him!

We didn't have enough interest in a full retro roundtable, but that doesn't stop a caller from chiming in on the Amiga and the Commodore 64.
