The year was 1981 and the world of video games was about to get HORNY, but probably not the kind of horny you expect. Through the early '80s and mid '90s, one video game series was injecting both passion and stank into computers everywhere. That series was known as Leisure Suit Larry, and this is his story.

Long time listeners of DT! should be well aware that we here at DT!HQ, we love a TV Docuseries. Be it cults, special interests, or shocking moments in history, a show made to shock and educate is a show made for us. That's why the execs at Big Documentaries reached out to us to help with their new project. They need to create the next big summer hit and they need our help to determine, "Which video game has the most docu-worthy lore?"

Matt meant to say snowboarding. Andrew meant to say JASON. Todd meant to say that the Pinkertons are bad, actually.
