Two Gamers on a Couch are playing a video game, or the gang get together to play a roleplaying game. Instead of showing what goes on by showing us the screen or the characters themselves, the scene cuts "into" the game, where the gamers themselves have taken the roles of the characters they are playing. Any discussion the players have will be seen taking place between the characters. The characters will nearly always facially resemble the players, although they will often be altered to take on aspects of the player characters. This can be done with the intention of looking silly, such as the 7-foot-tall barbarian wearing his geeky player's signature Nerd Glasses or a male player shown crossdressing as his female character. A different art style may be used to show the gameworld; video game worlds may have something of a pixellated or cel-shaded appearance. Very rarely, one will see a series actually make the leap to using Machinima for this purpose. This is a Sub-Trope of Fantasy Sequence, some display of how "immersed" the characters are in the game; it's their imaginative perception of what's going on. This allows us to see events in-game, and is a lot more interesting than watching two guys tapping on their controllers. (Not to be confused with "immersion gaming," a form of live-action roleplay that lasts for more than 24 hours, takes place in and interacts with the real world, or both.) Compare Two Gamers on a Couch, RPG Episode, RPG Mechanics 'Verse, Separate Scene Storytelling. |

Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online has the central conceit that the characters from previous Neptunia games are playing the titular 4 Goddesses Online, an in-universe MMO (this level of meta is nothing out of the ordinary). All the characters' default avatars look exactly like themselves, and like everything else, this is lampshaded. Neptune considered getting her avatar to look as cute as her real self a challenge, Vert considers the resemblance vital to immersion, Noire wanted her avatar's outfit to be easy to cosplay, Blanc realized that fixing her main complex with her appearance would just get her mocked, Nepgear and Uni aren't familiar with MMOs and didn't think to do anything outlandish, and Rom and Ram both wanted to see their Squishy Wizard selves acting as physical classes in-game. | |

The Gamers and its sequel play this for comedy, switching between scenes of the roleplayers sitting at a table and the fantasy world inhabited by the characters as whom they roleplay. Taken to an extreme in the third movie when the party banters with the main villain while waiting for the DM, ending with him asking who is playing him. The second film in the series has a male player playing as a female evil wiz-, sorry chaotic neutral wizard. The in-game actor flips back and forth between the player's actor in drag, and an actual woman. One scene even has them "tag-out", pro-wrestling style. | |

In The Simpsons episode "Marge Gamer", all characters in an MMORPG Bart and Marge played were clearly fantasy versions of other Springfield residents. Apparently, everyone in town plays on the same server, by some Contrived Coincidence. They all managed to create characters who look exactly like themselves, except for minor details (Marge's character is basically her with elf ears, for example.) | |

Inverted in Log Horizon. Originally a simple MMORPG where characters could customize their looks to themselves or radically different, a major update to the game effectively teleports all those logged at the time into an Alternate Universe as The Game Come to Life. The anime adaptation shows brief moments of adventurers at their computers at play, before the transformation. | |

Cardfight!! Vanguard often utilizes this trops - while sometimes it employs Yu-Gi-Oh!-like Hard Light projections for the units, and sometimes summons them with real magic, a lot of time, the card games are simply card games. Regardless, we still see fights between the units, exoplained as being what the fighters are visualizing in their heads. | |

Serial Experiments Lain at first seems to function on this level, as characters who immerse themselves in the Wired seem to do so via high-speed web browsing rather than virtual reality, leaving their actual bodies gazing at a screen and pointing and clicking links while they're mentally exploring the Wired's virtual world. But then the deep immersion starts to get deeper... much deeper. | |

The Better Than Life game in Red Dwarf is this, particularly since it manages to generate a perfect existence for its users without them even learning that it is fictional. Better Than Life's programming is able to probe an individual's subconsciousness so deeply as to determine exactly what what they would want as their ideal life, one even better than what they are capable of consciously imagining. | |

Community: Averted in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, in which the group, unsurprisingly, play Dungeons & Dragons. Both episodes feature the group simply sitting around a table talking about what they're doing in the game. Not technically gaming, but roleplay, in Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas, where the characters are shown as the stop motion figures that Abed believes everyone has turned into. Averted in a later "clip show" episode containing solely new footage that showed the rest of them sitting around the table uncomfortably playing along with Abed's Christmasland fantasy. Played straight in Digital Estate Planning, where the gang play an 8-bit platformer and most of the action takes place within the game. Abed, naturally, takes things further, falling in love with one of the game characters and raising a family, who come in handy when the time comes to defeat the Final Boss. At the end, Abed saves the character in a flash drive, saying "I told you I'd come back for you." |

Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes takes this to its logical conclusion: playing a tabletop video game is equivalent to, and has the same mechanics as, entering a hypnotic trance.

The manhua ½ Prince is this trope. The MMORPG "Second Life" is playable anytime (even in your sleep!) and the character's looks are based off your real life appearance. The game prides itself on the "99% percent realism factor" which means if you get hurt you get hurt seriously. Oh, c'mon now. They only raised the pain level to 30%. Dying still hurts like a bitch, though. The actual game that shares the name of the MMO in question, of course, isn't like this. |

Used in an episode of The Big Bang Theory where Penny got addicted to "Age of Conan". Partly subverts the trope in using realistic game footage, but also plays it straight in having no visible interface and blatantly obvious user handles. (Queen Penelope? With no numbers or guild tag?) | |

The Fantasy and Space themes of Irregular Webcomic! are this. Space tends to go a lot deeper, to the point where it's a major surprise when Paris drops out of character after being so disgusted by A Wizard Did It. And it's even more of a surprise when she gets no response, possibly because Me had been killed some strips earlier. There's been no follow-up in the Space theme about this. (Though it had once been declared that DMM from the Me theme isn't the same as DMM as the GM, the fact remains that neither GM has been seen since.) At the beginning the Cliffhangers theme was this as well (note that, like the other two, it's titled after a GURPS genre book) but that got dropped very quickly. |

Of Dice and Men has the characters introduce themselves to the audience as if they existed separately from their players, although they are portrayed by the same actors. During the final game sequence, the lines blur a bit, as the characters sometimes speak lines within the game world that are obviously being said by the players at the game table. | |

Briefly invoked and then subverted in The Order of the Stick: during Belkar's semi-hallucinogenic dream sequence, Shojo tells Belkar that he must learn to "play the game". Cut to Belkar, Shojo, and Mr. Scruffy sitting in "normal" clothing at a table with dice, character sheets, and a DM screen for Shojo. Belkar, confused, tries to clarify that the webcomic is not a representation of an actual campaign, but merely a world where D&D 3.5 edition rules apply. Shojo confirms this to be true (thus confirming in-universe what Word of the Giant had answered many, many times before and putting an end to the debate), and the dream continues as scheduled. Although the game metaphor is extended throughout the rest of the page, the pair is never shown in modern clothes after that. | |

The Total-Immersion Video Games on Red Dwarf. The concept is first introduced via the game "Better Than Life" where players can live out their dream lives. Rimmer's self-loathing proves to be so deep that it corrupts the game for everyone.

In the American Dad! episode "Dungeons and Wagons", Jeff, Steve, and their friends obsess over an Everquest or World of Warcraft-esque fantasy MMO called Dragon Scuffle, and all events in the game are drawn in a completely different style from the main show, though all of the characters speak with the voice of their player. Downright hysterical when Steve's massive warrior speaks with Steve's scrawny voice. | |

In Yureka this is Justified as a legal requirement of MMOs (which isn't too far from existing Korean online laws) - your av's appearance defaults to your own, though it can be altered to a limited extent.

Downplayed in Chapter 270 of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, which mostly takes place on a Minecr... er, Winecraft server. The avatars are far more expressive than anything that would be remotely possible in the real game, though the fact that they look like their players and can hear each other just by getting close are both perfectly plausible (even if the latter would require a mod). | |

Lucky Star: In the OVA, Konata, Nanako and the Hiiragi twins all play a MMORPG together, and they're only shown as their RPG characters for the whole segment. Their characters are essentially just chibi versions of their real selves but wearing fantasy outfits. While Konata frequently plays that same MMO in the TV series, nothing on her screen is ever actually shown as she plays aside from the in-game chat. | |

So far Original Life has done it with Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Fallout: New Vegas. In the latter two cases it's somewhat justified. The previous series that led to Original Life, Better Days featured a chapter in which Lucy joins her boyfriend's D&D group, and in a single afternoon manages to complete the story arc that was supposed to last them months. |

While the game itself is a tactical wargame, Haruhi Suzumiya has scenes of the SOS Brigade as star fleet commanders when they play the game against the computer club. Haruhi gets really megalomaniacal here. There's also the nice touch of having their command ships' crews reflect their commanders (Haruhi's crew had varied aliens, Mikuru's wore cute animal masks, Itsuki's had henohenomoheji, Yuki's were copies of her; Kyon's crew is not shown except for a brief glimpse at the back of the heads of a few at a distance). The anime adaptation makes clear contrasts to highlight the Mundane Made Awesome traits of it all by cutting smoothly between ridiculously epic orchestral scores and dramatic speeches within the game and the tinny, 8-bit MIDI version in the "real world". Even funnier is the end, where the enemy flagship goes down to both Beam Spam and a Wave-Motion Gun, the orchestra is in full trumpets-and-drums, the enemy commander Disappears into Light... and cut to the computer screen proclaiming You Win! | |

The Unspeakable Vault (of Doom) is weird about this. Almost all the time, the events of the strip are presented "as-is"—Cthoolhoo eats someone, for instance, and we have to take it for granted that such is a canonical occurrence. Every once in a while, an event involving supernatural investigators turns out to be an example of this trope, usually right after everyone's character gets eaten. And on one occasion, the roleplayers themselves got eaten by Cthoolhoo. | |

There are several smaller arcs in Sequential Art that show Pip as he appears in Realm of Lorcraft. There was even an arc in which the whole gang played the Lorcraft board game, with Pip as the Evil Overlord, Art as an Elemental Mage, Kat as a Shadow Assassin, and the Think Tank playing as a single Knight. This showed up again when Pip and Art played Minecraft. Granted, the game lets you customize your own skin for your avatar, but not to the extent they did (you cannot add glasses, ahoge, or eyebrows to your character, for instance). |

A Variation: In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, it's possible to seenote or rather hear Donkey Kong either playing Mario Kart 7 or playing Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on his 3DS, both games that include Donkey Kong himself as a playable character. Because of this, he plays as himself in both games. | |

The Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise has a few examples of this, though they mostly take the form of characters being forced into the roles of game pieces by magic, such as in the Monster World RPG arc in the original manga. Other times, it's more likely to be the opposite- game elements appearing in the real world. | |

Whenever more than one person is involved with a game in the anime adaptation of Haganai, this trope is invoked, including one Dating Sim. This is played with in one episode where Maria, the healer, leaves to take a nap. Thus, her character stands idle during the climatic boss battle. After almost every character is killed off, Maria's character starts moving again. It was Kobato playing in her stead, though. | |

This may very well have been started by TRON, where Programs were played by the same actor as their users. However, it's subverted in that the Programs are not the same people as their Users and merely just look like the User who created them (at least for the first film). Even then, it's implied by a line by one character that the appearance issue is because a part of the programmer's spirit goes into their creations. | |

Happened in an episode of Danny Phantom; played straight with Danny and Tucker, but initially averted with Sam, whose online Avatar looked nothing like her real-world appearance... until she disabled a holographic mask to reveal her real face.

The IM program in El Goonish Shive. The author actually Lampshaded this trope the second time it was used. Also the semi-canonical game of Black & White in the NP strips. The storyline "Duel of the Discs" does this with a Magic: The Gathering style card game. Mr Tensaided is very impressed with how immersed Grace gets. "Squirrel Prophet" is set at another tournament of the same game, and does the same thing, especially with Sarah being The Roleplayer. This is also frequently done in the video-game parody storylines of EGS:NP, although with the NP strips being of questionable continuity unless specifically stated, Dan sometimes goes back and forth within a story between "this represents a game Grace is playing" and "this is an AU where Grace is the game character". "Who Is Ellen?" Part 2 features a roleplaying game and has scenes set within the game where George, Rich and Larry are all shown as their characters. Nananse, who finds it harder to get "into" the game than the others (and whose character is from the real world anyway), is repesented as herself, still sitting on her chair. Larry is also shown as his real self within the gameworld when he's metagaming, and transforms back into his character when called on it. |

South Park did this with the actual game of World of Warcraft. As they used machinima footage from the real game, they couldn't put the character's heads on the in-game characters, but the characters still looked similar: Stan and Kyle wore clothing the same color as their hats, Cartman was a short, fat Dwarf in red, and Kenny wore orange. In "Good Times With Weapons," the boys pretend to be ninjas, and the show flips back and forth between what is really going on and what is happening in their game. Their game is presented in an anime style, and each boy appears as a musclebound, adult ninja, with vague resemblances to his actual appearance and clothing. |

Phantasy Star Online 2 manages to play with this. In-universe players of PSO2 are often depicted as interacting with other characters in-game, including the Player Character. Except in-universe players are playing the game, while the Player Character and his/her allies are actual entities, and they coexist. Also, the Digital Avatars of the players also coexist with the players and the ARKS and aren't actually digital like the players are meant to believe. It's rather complicated. | |

In Sword Art Online this is part of the premise - when the villain traps 100,000 players inside an MMORPG, he also changes their avatars to match their real-life appearances (resulting in a brief but funny scene where two players who were previously a seventeen-year-old guy and a young girl turn out to be a skinny, unattractive redhead guy and a short, fat, definitely not seventeen-year-old) and outright tells the players that if they die in the game, they're dead for real. Survivors who later join other MMOs choose avatars resembling themselves out of habit, though other players rarely do so. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation had its own board game called A Klingon Challenge that included a VHS tape, which was meant to be played along with the game. The objective was to retake the Enterprise-D from a Klingon who had holed himself up in the bridge before an hour passed, after which the game would end. Notable in that he would often enact various situations that affected gameplay, such as placing a player in stasis for several turns. | |
