If you’ve been following the drama over at Destructoid between Ron Workman (no relation) and Jim Sterling over Jim’s review of Halo Wars having only partially played the game, you might be a bit outraged (or, you might not even care that much at all… which is actually pretty reasonable.)
That being said, Sarcastic Gamer has always had a great relationship with the site, Jim Sterling, and Ron Workman, so we decided it’s about time we paid back a little of the goodwill Destructoid has shown us in the past.
Starting this Monday…
SarcasticGamer.com will be implementing a series of game reviews where we only discuss games from about the midway point through the ending. This way, people can read both Jim Sterling’s “first half” review along with our “second half” review and get the full picture. It works out really well as we both get page views and we form a more symbiotic relationship. I asked Jim if he’d send over a statement and this is what he sent:
I think this sounds like a load of b…

In the spirit of kicking off our partnership, I’ve taken the liberty of writing the second half of Jim’s sentences for him. I think this will work out just great. Here is the final version (our contribution is in green.)
I think this sounds like a load of b… arely containable fun the whole community will love!
People will never stand for this s… ystem of multi-reviewers reviews going overlooked. It’s destined for success!
Ron Workman can go f… ind a job anywhere in this community with the integrity and morals he has.
So there you have it. SarcasticGamer.com has stepped in as a peacemaker and all parties are happier. Be sure to keep an eye on the front page as we’re off to Washington today to sort out this whole “economic crisis” before dinner time!

Oh man. That was brilliant. Great job Rothbart.
Some much welcomed levity to this situation.
Buh RILLIANT job Roth.
Thats fantastic
Nuff said.
That’s friggin’ awesome, Rothbart.
Two stars **
LOL very nice. **
Awesome**
while I honestly want all this stuff to stop, I admit this made me laugh. Nice job. Someone sent me the link acting like it was really bad and when I opened it I was honestly like “No goddamn way. Please God end this drama” put then baby Jebus put a smile on my frowny face.
after reading this and seeing more on how you guys do business, kicking us all when things are tough, if you have a position open for a worthless fuck like me, Im so down. When you can crack jokes like this in the heat of the shit going on, I think we see eye to eye.
Note: I really dont have any beef at all with Jim. Its the review of halo wars I didnt agree with. Jim took the high road maybe compared to me and I feel bad digging in as much as I did on him. There is no excuse for his original review but me not pointing it out and leaving it at that was where it should have ended on my end.
Jim Sterling is a cock-face.
I just read this. Great stuff. Might be the best FF you’ve ever done Roth.
Tee hee… Thanks for injecting a much-needed dose of laughs into this situation, Rothbart.
I lol’ed….
I think the soup analogy is not very good, because a soup tastes the same throughout the whole thing, while a video game changes!
You suck Doc!
Tres awesome!
Ron Workman’s Beard and chops are waay better then Jim’s triple chin and monocle.
