I'm marking this as high importance due to its AMAS Mackie award and the fact that it's the first notable machinima talk show. — TKD:: Talk 01:07, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
I've edited the section re: players firing on the show personnel. While quite funny, I very much doubt the players (e.g. attackers in the Bob Stein interview, "bargain hunters" in the episode 2 monologue, etc.) were truly unaware of the show's filming. Note that the host was never killed, that many attackers were very slow to attack, or repeatedly displayed terrible aim (as Damien notes in the Bob Stein interview), etc.
The final killer in the Ahwesh interview was obviously part of the show, since it was filmed from the attacker's perspective. "Poopydoodoo" (ILL Clan interview) was a bit contrived, especially given his voice was on the show soundtrack, and how he "coincidentally" showed up at the final credits. And the cameraman killing in the Marty O'Donnell interview (part two) was done (as I recall) by members of the "bodyguard competition", not uninvited guests.
Obvious or otherwise, I don't want to throw down suppositions or "original research", so I just made it more ambiguous. — Wisq 16:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

This Spartan Life is down for the time being since they are getting new severs, (they sight that the show has grown so much that they need new severs to handle all the traffic), TSL will be down until they get the replacement severs up and running.
EDIT- The severs are back online now -- Downskated 06:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
For almost 30 minutes I've been scanning any TSL-related sites, but I have yet to come up with a reference to Festival Nemo that I could link to. Are homepage news archive links acceptable, or should I get a Festival Nemo official link? -- Chromium 01:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I think that we should link Fyb3ropik's i would do expect i don't know how to link, since i'm a wiki noob. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Downskated ( talk • contribs)
Doctor Octobit isn't his real name, and i'm pretty sure that is in reference to the fact that he play 8 bit music, since octo is reference to 8, which octo is 8 in german, were one of the 8 bit music is from and after talking with chris he confirms that i am right about the meaning of octobit, i am going to edit accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Downskated ( talk • contribs)
I tagged this article for cleanup primary because it's too list-heavy at the moment. Wikipedia prefers flowing prose whenever possible. — TKD:: Talk 11:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
I've been thinking about the sections this article should and shouldn't have; I can't think very clearly about this, as I am just one person, and "be bold" and "be a page-purging, junk-adding vandal" are a hop, skip and a jump away, so I don't think I alone should decide this. Thoughts? -- Chromium 00:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
-- Downskated 02:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
apperently all the work that we did chro, it didn't upload for somereason, why i don't know -- Downskated 04:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I was trying to track done citation that TSL was at Nemo Festival the best i could come up with was this http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://iarvers.free.fr/spip/isaevent.php3&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=5&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DFestival%2BNemo%2Bthis%2Bspartan%2Blife%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG and here is the french link http://iarvers.free.fr/spip/isaevent.php3 sorry i speak german not french -- Downskated 07:19, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Does this article still constitute start-class? The official guide says that most articles that require cleanup start at B-class, and this doesn't anymore. If it needs work, Downskated and I have been told that we will get pictures and more information soon from Chris Burke, the host, so this won't be short for long. -- Chromium 21:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
If you have any questions about this text/ interview about TSL, feel free to ask me, I did it! and there is no specific website for the Festival Nemo that is organised by ARCADI and the link is www.arcadi.fr, i hope it can help you somehow... isabelle http://iarvers.free.fr
I was think that i should expand the wiki and include a section on the webepiosdes, but part of the problem is that they can no longer be viewed, since this is the case where TSL interview probably its most famous guest Korn, Chris did mention that he wanted me at least mention the webisodes which have done in the first paragraph, also i would like to mention here that i have had a few independent people look at this wiki, (of various level of prehand knowledge, of the subject (if you would like i could name them)) but from the person who little about video games, and nothing about machinima could understand what the article was about, i have had 2 people state that it wasn't indepth enough, and was too short, and i had a person call this "the prefect wiki article, and that all wiki articles should try to reach this" (and this guy hasn't even seen TSL), so TKD what should we do??? -- Downskated 06:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Possibly. I'd have to ask Chris Burke for that, and he's usually very very busy ... next time I'm in a filming session for TSL I'll make a special request for him to get a group shot of the characters. --Chromium 23:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Alright, to get this article to go up a little in quality, I've redoubled my efforts to comply with Wikipedia's standards. I just finished remaking the characters section, complete with a new picture, and everything's more or less not as "list-y". Anything else while I'm at it? --Chromium 16:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
ok can i get the source that says the show atarted in 2004 when halo 2 was released, since that is news to me, i thought that this spartan life was created when there was slow down in work for Bong + Dern, at which point TSL was kicked around, but i want a source saying that it started in 2004, since that would that it was 1 and 1/2 years from start of idea, and release of episode 1, which i don't think happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Downskated ( talk • contribs)
Huge new audio source. [2] A little over an hour, not MUCH new information, but it's still a nice thing to have. --Chromium 21:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey i chated with chris and he confirmed partitionaly what was said but i've since modifed it, so i this is usless now. -- Downskated 05:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
I went through the article. The biggest problem is that there are going to need to be better sources for some assertions. The show itself can't be a source for anything in the reception section. The other thing to be careful of (and I excised a few instances) is to maintain an even tone. The phrase "the likes of" is too informal. My recent sweep of the article was more concerned with formatting references consistently, though, aso don't take what I did as the end-all. I'll see what I can do as far as finding more comprehensive secondary coverage. — TKD:: Talk 09:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
There is a high great likelyhood that with the release of the halo 3 and its This Spartan Life content that there will be a surge in the viewership of This Spartan Life, should this wiki be prepared in any sort of manner to get it ready for that possibility. -- Downskated 06:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Image:Damian-octobit-halo-3-versions.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The name (This Spartan Life) is a play off of a real show hosted by NPR radio host Ira Glass called This American Life. It would be worthy of mentioning. JayAlto ( talk) 04:18, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Considering This Spartan Life is now on Halo Waypoint and that they are making new episodes, should this article be updated? I believe so. This page hasn't been updated for about a year. 76.121.138.201 ( talk) 21:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
These have been moved here from a subpage as part of a cleanup process. See Wikipedia:Discontinuation of comments subpages.
More third party sources will be needed for GA/FA. The short, one-paragraph subsections describing the characters should be merged. in one larger section; stubby sections don't go over well during GA/FA candidacy. — TKD:: Talk 09:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
