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|Frog]], [[The Mentor|who mentors]] and [[Jerkass|berates him]], usually at the same time, and he runs into parodies and pastiches of various other characters along the way.
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 ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130409154229/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.
The series is currently at the end of its first season. A Flash based [[Gaiden Game]] is currently in development.
Line 18:
* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] - The Game in which Guy finds himself is inhabited by characters from just about any game series you can care to think of, from ''[[Kirby]]'' to ''[[Halo]]''.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: The whole reason that Guy had to go on his quest? {{spoiler|Dude (a volunteer for Liag: The Game) turned off his tracking field while testing, so he could not be pulled back out, and neither could Guy.}} Whoops.
* [[Only Sane Man]] - Guy a lot of the time, but best exemplified in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130603221044/http://www.lifeinagame.com/pages/episode62.html Episode 6-2].
* [[Player Punch]] - {{spoiler|[http://www.lifeinagame.com/pages/episode72.html Subplott's death] at the hands of the Blue Jackal, itself an homage to a [[Final Fantasy VII|certain other]] [[Plotline Death]].}}
* [[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.
