Here’s Halo

Studio 360

“This Spartan Life” is no ordinary talk show — it’s filmed inside the online video game “Halo 2.” It combines good conversation and unexpected explosions, with the added thrill of trying to stay alive long enough to get your point across. Chris Burke is the host and creator of the show. Kurt went online — suited up as a cybernetic soldier — to talk with Burke about the future of entertainment. And maybe blow up some aliens. Produced by Derek John.
