This Spartan Life is a machinima talk show created by Bong + Dern Productions, produced and directed by Chris Burke, and hosted by Damian Lacedaemion. The show is created using the video game Halo 2. The half-hour episodes are released in shorter parts or "modules". Guests such as Bungie Studios' Martin O'Donnell are interviewed via Xbox within the online multiplayer worlds of Halo 2.

Every episode features an opening monologue, interviews with guests, and as two fixed features, the "Solid Gold Elite Dancers", a group of Covenant Elite dancers, and "Body Count", a debate segment in which players kill each other as they debate their points. Some of the comedy in the show itself is derived from holding serious interviews in a chaotic game world, highlighted via game glitches, combat with unruly guests, and the presence of other players who outwardly appear to be unaware that the show is being filmed at all. These players fire upon other players, camera operators, and even the host and his guests.

This Spartan Life won an award for Best Machinima Series at the 2005 Machinima Film Festival, and was featured on Reuters' "And Finally" on April 13. The video is available here, around 2:31.

This Spartan Life was also featured at Festival Nemo in France.[citation needed]
