Kit Kat: Your break from recursive MMOs [update 1]

by Kyle Orland { Apr 6th 2007 at 5:25PM }

If you thought First Life was a brave new frontier on the uncharted expanses of video game comedy, wait until you see this European Kit Kat ad. I don't want to ruin the ending, but let's just say that Second Life citizens like to play computer MMOs too. What? The picture above gave away the punchline? Oh well. Have a Kit Kat.

Other Second Life jokes we're waiting to see:

Fourth Life: What do citizens of Third Life do when they're bored? The hilarity never ends! Not to be confused with Forth Life, which is in your newspaper's comics.
Pi Life: Your life as a series of random, never-ending, non-repeating events. Alternatively, your life trapped in a circle. Alternatively, your life in a universe filled with pie.
Half Life: Second Life, but with more guns. And crates.
One Second Life: A game that only lasts one-sixtieth of a minute.
Googol Life: A really long life. Not to be confused with Google Life, which is the life of a web addict.
Zero Life: What the average Second Life player has. *rim shot*

[Update: How foolish of us. It turns out we posted this video last month. But was this a mistake, or a subtle reinforcement of the video's statement? Alright, it was a mistake.]

Cereal Life: Very tasty

Ok, I really like this commercial but you guys seriously need to stop double posting. Although the "Other Second Life" jokes were amusing, you guys just posted this video.

I'm not the kind of guy who goes around screaming, "0LD N3WS!!!11" but I must've seen at least half-a-dozen times were Joystiq posted the same story multiple times.

I love this site, but your writers should pay as much attention as your readers.

Kong Life: Planet of the Donkeys

Does that count as a same-time post?

Pokemon Life: Your torment won't end until you capture every last single pokemon and merchandise. Current number is 493 pokemon and counting.

Hey, since we are talking about MMO's here...where are the LOTR articles? Today was the first day for the latest open beta before it goes gold, and man this game is crap. It looks four years old and plays like someone took a dump on World Of Warcraft. I'm a big enough Tolkien fan, but there is no way I would pay for this crap. Come on, post about it already. I want to totally slag it in the proper place.
