This Spartan Life is a machinima talk-show produced and directed by Chris Burke, and hosted by Damian Lacedaemion (a Spartan military cyborg). The show is created using the video game Halo 2 and is similar in concept to The Late Show with David Letterman. The half-hour episodes are released in shorter parts or 'modules'. Guests such as Bungie's Martin O'Donnell are interviewed via Xbox within the online multiplayer worlds of Halo 2.

Every episode features an opening monologue, interviews with guests as well as two fixed features, the Solid Gold Elite Dancers, a group of Covenant Elite dancers, and Body Count, a debate segment featuring players killing each other as they debate their points. Some of the comedy in the show itself is derived from the fact that often, players not involved in the show's making are unaware that the show is being filmed at all, and thus fire upon show contestants as they try to act out their parts.

This Spartan Life won Best Machinima Series at the 2005 Machinima Film Festival .
