WHAT IS I.R.L.?
First off, it's an acronym.
It means IN REAL LIFE.
A short-hand gamers use to describe things that reside in that annoying layer of reality that they occasionally have to deal with, the real world.
I.R.L. is also a hilarious roadtrip movie about someone vanishing without a trace... Well, sorta...
Right, so a famous guy disappears... In IRL, this digital superstar, PENDRADON only exists in the massively popular video game Existence Evolved AKA "E2." If the Sims, WOW and Fortnite had a bastard love-child it would look something like E2. It's a solar-system-scale fully-immersive world where 75 million players live entire alternate lives. They go on epic adventures, forge life-long friendships and even get rich in real life.
