Acclaimed “talk show in game space” This Spartan Life will conduct live interviews “under fire” in the videogame Halo, on stage and projected on screen. Dodging virtual bullets in the mixed reality of SXSW & Halo, This Spartan Life’s Chris Burke & Josephine Dorado will interview Paul Marino, Lead Cinematic Designer at BioWare (creators of the Mass Effect series & Star Wars: The Old Republic). Discussing topics such as cinema space vs. game space, extending game culture, DIY media & the importance of play, all while evading plasma rifle-wielding aliens is no easy task. How will they fare? See for yourself. With Halo as its backdrop, the show began as an underground sensation and has since scored glowing reviews in Wired Magazine, G4TV, BusinessWeek & BoingBoing. Described by Wired Magazine as “a mash-up of The Charlie Rose Show & Doom,” TSL combines high-brow interviews with the likes of the late Sex Pistols manager, Malcolm McLaren & the rock band OK Go with the frag-fest of videogame culture.
Presenters:
Chris Burke - Creator/Director,This Spartan Life
Josephine Dorado - Live Events Producer, This Spartan Life
