''[http://www.lifeinagame.com Life In A Game]'' is an internet web series that primarily parodies video games of all types.
The story centers on Guy, who wakes up one day to find out that he's in a [[Video Game]]. Worse yet, he's the main character, which means he's being harassed by boss characters like [[The Dragon|The Jackal]]. [[Refusal of the Call|At first, he tries running away]], but soon he decides to go ahead with it. He's joined by [[Sidekick|Subplott]], a prince who was deposed by [[Treacherous Advisor|Lollerskates]], and by [[Chrono Trigger
Also on the site is a [[Web Comic]] chronicling the adventures of ''[http://www.lifeinagame.com/comic/comic.html Team 1337]'' before Guy joins up with them, and ''[http://www.lifeinagame.com/blog/articles.html The Video Game Reporter]'', a series of news articles lampshading, parodying, and attempting to justify all the [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]] common in video games.
Line 13:
* [[Deus Angst Machina]] - Parodied with Subplott's backstory: He finds out he's a prince, but then an evil wizard brainwashes his father, the king, killed his uncle, kidnapped his sister, [[The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]], and banished him, then, to top it off, erased Subplott's [[Pokémon|Pokedex]].
* [[The Force]] - The Hax, it's what Guy taps into for his special powers.
* [[Fair Weather Mentor]] - [[Chrono Trigger
* [[Forgotten Superweapon]]: The X-Strike.
* [[Heroic RROD]] - A very literal version, where Lollerskates uses an actual Red Ring Of Death to block [[Halo|Master Chief]] from participating in his showdown with Guy and Subplott.
Line 22:
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] - {{spoiler|Guy, after beating Mecha Jackal, goes on one of these in retaliation for Subplott's death.}} Gendo and company are understandably unamused.
* [[Rule of Three]] - Lampshaded in the final battle with Lollerskates, where all it takes is three shots to his [[Attack Its Weak Point|weakpoint]] to finish him off.
* [[Shoot Em Ups]] - [http://www.lifeinagame.com/pages/episode42.html Episode 4-2], in an extended homage/parody of ''[[Star Fox (
* [[Soul Brotha]] - And let's just say [[Halo|the Master Chief]] is a little different here, as well.
* [[Shout
** Literally, at this point, with the hired help refering to him as such. The character in question is arguably an [[Captain Ersatz]] of Gendo, complete with attitude. And Episode Zero reveals his full name to be a double [[Shout
** Also, "[[Star Wars|We don't serve your kind in here!]]" Also a [[Throw It In]].
* [[Solve the Soup Cans]] - Parodied in 6-2, where Subplott mixes random items to get even more random items while Guy watches in confusion.
