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

Eventually, Tony became our “go-to-guy” in the Ten Ton Hammer staff. If there was anything that needed to be done, especially concerning community sites, Tony was the first individual we brought on board. After we pulled him away from EverQuest II, RadarX was moved to and helped create the community sites for Lord of the Rings Online, Tabula Rasa, and Warhammer Online. And, believe it or not, Tony learned the ins-and-outs of all of these games within a matter of weeks. Not only that, but again Tony was responsible for new staffers at each of those positions.


As his final destination, Tony came to work with me on the main portal of Ten Ton Hammer where he penned the now retired Comic Book Guy weekly column along with a slew of other features and the daily news. As the least focused of all the Ten Ton Hammer sites, many individuals find the main site to be daunting, almost an overload to the senses. Between news, interviews, reviews, and editorials, the main site crew has to be well-versed in everything MMO.

Did that stop Tony?

Not for a second. He dove in head first, churning his way upstream like a salmon. These last few years have truly been heartwarming as I got to know Tony, read his early morning, bleary-eyed emails, and share some wonderful experiences with him.

My favorite memory of Tony isn’t one particular moment, but of a week we shared in Seattle at the ION conference. Although Tony hadn’t been to a conference in a few months, I was just coming off a slew of early year press events and conventions, and my internal battery was running low. Tony’s enthusiasm kept me going throughout that show, and even when my taxi cab driver escorted me around Seattle for three hours, Tony lightened the mood with one hilarious comment. He was also eager to see Seattle, so I pointed out particular places while we careened through downtown and by the Space Needle.

With Tony’s help, the coverage from the show was well-received, and I know Tony will continue to bring that sort of experience and commitment to Sony Online Entertainment.. Again, all of the other Ten Ton staffers agree that you’ll continue to excel wherever you land.



Keep up the good work, Tony. You’ll be missed, but we know that you’re going to do what you love. Enjoy your time, and we’ll talk to you soon!
