''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131102100254/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|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 ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130409155922/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 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]] - [https://web.archive.org/web/20130605182841/http://www.lifeinagame.com/pages/episode42.html Episode 4-2], in an extended homage/parody of ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]''.
* [[Soul Brotha]] - And let's just say [[Halo|the Master Chief]] is a little different here, as well.
* [[Shout-Out]]- Uh, [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Gendo Ikari]] anyone?
