Think of This Spartan Life as Space Ghost Coast to Coast meets Red Versus Blue. The "talk show in game space" takes place inside an open multiplayer game of Halo 2. As Damian Lacedaemion interviews his guests he takes out the occasional intruding, and clueless players when they show up and start shooting at them.

It's a very cool concept and I absolutely love how Lacedaemion talks through both the interview and narrating his kills with an equally melodious voice.

So far the site has four episodes up. Judging by the variety offered up (the episodes include a straight interview, monologue and in-game synchronized dance performance), it looks as if TSL is still trying to find its voice. Despite the odd mix of interview, dance and frags, all of the episodes are definitely worth checking out.
