Warhammer Online at Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMOG Gamers to the Next Level!

By Josh Drescher, Associate Producer for Warhammer Online

Here’s a fact for you - E3 is all about peaks and valleys.

Peak:  The game looks awesome.  We’ve had folks on Beta all week long and it’s just a perfect way to illustrate how great the game looks, feels and plays at this point.  A note to the beta community:  Don’t be afraid of the armored 40th-level War Lions that showed up in High Elf 1 today – that’s just us saying “Hi!” from the show).

Valley:  Staying on your feet for ten straights hours makes everything sore.  We’re all whiny babies by the time 6:00 PM rolls around.

Peak:  Actually meeting a couple of True Believers who’d managed to sneak into the show to come see us, despite lacking credentials of any sort.  Kudos to you guys for sticking it to The Man.

Valley:  Missing our chance to get Governor Rick Perry to pose in WAR glasses.  Ya can’t win ‘em all.

Peak: We’ve done non-stop, solid, in-depth interviews with everyone who’s come by.  The EA booth has been packed and jumping the entire time the show’s been open.  Don’t be fooled by people who claim the show is “totally dead”.  Those people just didn’t know where The Action was.

Valley:  The LEGO Batman people are giving out Bat-Signal pen lights.  I still do not have one.  My time is running out and I fear I won’t get a chance to go and beg for one in person (and also demand to know why there isn’t a Dark Knight Returns hulking Frank Miller LEGO Batman in their game).

Peak:  Going to the Rock Band party and finding out that the live entertainment for the evening is The Who.

Josh saw the Who. That's right! The frickin' Who!

Allow me to repeat that:  IT WAS THE FRICKIN’ WHO.  

Rocking our faces off for two, solid hours.  They played everything I could’ve asked for, did two encores, destroyed one of Pete’s guitars and ruthlessly mocked Aerosmith.  Pure awesome.

With that in mind, I’m just going to apologize now to anyone I talk to tomorrow for two things:


Tomorrow’s our final day.  Wish me luck!
