Name: Sean "rothbart" Workman (pictured above with his daughter McKenzie, photo taken by his son Michael) Country: United States (Oregon) What do you do on the site? Community Manager, Co-host of Sarcastic Gamer Playstation Podcast (aka "The Blu Show", note the missing "e") Consoles Owned: Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PSP, PS2, PS1, Xbox, Wii (no longer own), DS (no longer own) Introduce yourself, go! I guess I've been with Sarcastic Gamer since there was a Sarcastic Gamer. Doc and I first crossed paths over on the GamerCastNetwork.com forums where I corrected his vlever audio jabs at Sony for accuracy. Little did I know that "new guy with the crazy audio recording and editing skills" would soon break away and start his own site with a slant for poking fun at video gaming culture. When asked, I immediately agreed to write for the site. As Sarcastic Gamer grew rapidly and added its own message forum, I agreed to help moderate it. That eventually led to my Community Manager position which I've been holding ever since. In my spare time, I search for the six-fingered man who killed my father... and I know something he does not know! What do you do in your freetime? Hiking, camping, biking, gaming, tinkering on computers (Windows & Linux), spending time with my family. Go on then, how many? I own over 6,000 PS3 games (if you count duplicates)
LittleBigPlanet holds a special place in my heart.
Fans of the Blu Show podcast may know that I had an almost year-long bet with my co-host Frawlz, where I proposed LBP would outsell Killzone 2 in each games’ first six months on the market. LBP didn’t let me down; I won the bet, but have yet [...]
We’ve all heard the phrase “everyone loves an underdog” and for the last few years, Sony’s played the part with no dispute. They’ve constantly been beaten on almost every front by the Wii and/or 360. This year has been a sort of coming of age year for “The New Sony” and they’re struggling to become [...]

I’ve been hosting the Sarcastic Gamer PlayStation Podcast along with Frawlz and PacmanPolarbear for well over a year now, so it should come as no surprise that I really like the PlayStation platform. When we started the show, we had to put up with a large amount of legitimate “crap” over things like inferior multiplatform [...]
I understand that games are pretty expensive compared to other forms entertainment media. I also understand that people just steal things. I used to work retail and witnessed several people steal things just to steal, they had no particular use for what they were stealing. That said, there have been a number of “WTF were [...]

Analysts and gamer’s alike have constantly discussed the eventuality of Nintendo releasing an HD enabled console. With the unparalleled success of the Wii, it’s pretty much a given that they simply could take the existing Wii model, give it the ability to pump out HD video and put a little more oomph under the hood [...]
Hey, guys! This post is the result of an idea I had for a short series of articles based on useful tips I might have to share with you, combined with tapping you to answer questions I myself have related to gaming. Asking you is MUCH easier than using Google myself… I’m all about “the [...]
Do you have a brand one of those fancy-dancy new PS3 that sometimes sounds like a jet preparing for take-off while you’re playing Uncharted 2? If so, Talismoon just announced the thing to alleviate your problems!
Episode 74 of the Blu Show is here and Rothbart’s way to busy to type up a decent description because he’s playing games (Frawlz is not) so listen to the “mystery show” which SHOULD include a poem to Frawlz, a discussion about Netflix finally coming to the PS3, roomahs, and a lot more!
We appreciate you [...]
