This video sets out to figure out who really made the original Roblox “Oof” sound (spoiler: it was (most likely) Joey Kuras)… and takes a massive detour to unravel (some of) all the lies that Tommy Tallarico keep telling about himself. It ends up with discussing how a lot of artists involved with creating video games go unrecognised (like the mostly female Capcom Sound Team) and how important it is to record/archive history as it happens (like we’re doing!) and other talk about video game music in general.
After watching this, I’m curious how many of Tallarico’s credits need fixing…

I’ve posted this video on the forums before, but it reminds me of jan misali’s video on Caramelldansen, a tale of lost media, historical revisionism, and balsamic vinegar:
I know it’s not quite “long format”, but I think the ideas put forth here could be put to good use in MusicBrainz/ListenBrainz~ it’s definitely “of Interest to the MBz Nerd Community”, tho…
