As a result of stereotyping, it is generally assumed that gamers have no life. When one says they have a life, one assumes they do things like read, do plays, have other priorities, etc. What I did was meld the two and create an oxymoron: I have a life, it is simply quantified by video game life bars, in this case, hearts, as used in Mario, Lego Star Wars, and any number of other games.

Zelda!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking (once EW explained it)!

I have two lives left!

And once they're gone, I'll have to restart the game, which you just lost.
