Los Angles, California, in the 1980s. Lots of weapons, drugs, crime, and explosions!

It's the year 2024, and you've been sucked into the world of 'Never Stop Blowing Up', a VHS tape movie you got sucked into at Dave's Video Store in Lake Elsinore, California. You're in an action movie set in Los Angles in the 80s, and the world you knew is behind you. The city is packed with crime, violence, and most of all, explosions. You were put into one of the movie character's bodies, and while you don't know it yet, you'll discover that your character is tied to an object called a macguffen, and without it, you can't return to the real world. If it's distroyed, you can't go back, and of you die in this dangerous city, you die in the real world. When you come back, it'll only have been 90 minutes in the real world, the duration of the movie, but who knows how long you'll really be stuck in here?
