The idea is clever: take a pop culture video game and use it's scenery, physics, and avatars as a stage for producing an original story.

A lot of people have been playing around with this film medium recently, and the results of their effort, like everything else, typically fall somewhere between really poor and really good.

This is fantastic.

This Spartan Life is a talk show which takes place in the world of Halo. Host Damian Lacedaemion interviews his guests on the subjects of architecture, interactive story telling, sex, fiction, games, life, and art, all while guiding them through the dangerous world of Halo, warding off attacks from violent interlopers.

The production value is very high, the music is top notch (complete with alien DJ technology), and the discussion is a gas. You really need to check it out - even if you don't play Halo.
