Any For Love For An LGBT Spin-Off Of Leisure Suit Larry And Such?

Disclaimer:

This is another article that reflects on a video game franchise that contains strong sexual content aimed at mature audiences, along with one concern regarding suicide. Reader discretion is advised.

Seven months ago, I expressed my thoughts on how an instalment of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise that is heavily based on LGBT dating can excel in the near future of gaming whilst appealing to a secondary mature target audience [54] [55]. Currently, I am very flattered to have received a comment from the official Assemble Entertainment YouTube channel thanking me for posting nice comments on the promotional videos for Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice and the theme song of the previous instalment, Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry [7] [8] [9]. The sequel’s title may technically contradict the last game’s title, but I am pretty sure that its prime intentions are to ensure that the unlucky bachelor will keep on searching for love in the early 2020s [8] [9] [43] [52] [53]. And Bégoniax thought Rayman was a pervert in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc and its HD re-release [11] [39] [40] [41] [56]. I sometimes suspect that Larry Laffer could be diagnosed with Hypersexual Disorder due to so many sexual references throughout every quest to do woohoo that usually fails [12] [13] [38]. Despite that, I, Lacy Dress Laura, will proceed to expand on my thoughts on how the new era of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise can excel with more positive LGBT representation and such.

Looks like only one adventure was not enough, eh Larry [15] [16] [27]? [43]

Larry will not give Faith up [27]!
He ain't gonna let her down!
Guess he'll have to walk around and
Search for her [35]! [8]

It looks like the soft-reboot of the franchise already established some positive portrayal of homosexuality [2] [20] [50]. It sure is sweet how gay marriage was finally introduced to the series in Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry. Lance Straightman and Richard Ryder sure look cute together and I adore how Larry helped them get married in such an honourable way as part of his character development outside of his desire to finally lose his virginity to an attractive woman [2]. As for the lesbian couple, I love how one of the ladies is a rock star [20] [50]. Surely a new spin-off of the soft-reboot timeline that introduces a new playable niece of Mr. Laffer can at least feature a lesbian scene that does not involve a straight guy’s perverted nature [50]. I still believe that a bisexual or pansexual niece of the main man will interestingly lead to any handsome male equivalents of the beautiful bachelorettes, leading to a role reversal [54] [55]. I am more than happy that the new timeline set in the late 2010s has already introduced a not so problematic portrayal of homosexuality [2], but what would gloriously expand on it would be introducing a new playable bisexual or pansexual character in another instalment [54] [55].

Here is one whole tuna fish sandwich. [20] [50]

And here is a little sausage fest. It sure feels good to teach some homophobes a lesson. [20] [50]

In addition to how Wet Dreams Don’t Dry has introduced a gay wedding without anyone interfering with it [2], I believe that there still can be a more humanised portrayal of a transwoman, a transman or a male crossdresser [29] [30]. As previously stated, making a niece for Mr. Laffer pansexual will lead to her feeling some sexual attraction to a transsexual person or crossdresser, thus making a spin-off starring her appeal to pansexual and transsexual gamers [48] [54] [55]. Koko from Leisure Suit Larry: Manga Cum Laude, a college student who often spoke in a fake French accent turned out to be a male crossdresser after giving Lovage…something special [3] [21] [30]. Surely it was solely a punchline and left Lovage felt quite uneasy, but I am sure that if he had a sister who is pansexual, she would react differently in a way that would make a crossdresser seem more humanised. I can already imagine how Laffer would not understand the terms “bicurious” and “pansexual” could annoy a possible sister of his nephew in another instalment that consists of the same rather positive outcomes of portraying homosexuality with a little humour in Wet Dreams Don’t Dry [29] [54] [55].  Oh, and please make the narrator who has a sexy voice return [17] [28]!

Here is Koko’s appearance in Magna Cum Laude. Sorry, but an uncensored screenshot will not be allowed here either. [21]

Even though it would be best to set an LGBT-friendly spin-off in the 21st century [2] [50], even for appealing to pansexual and transgender gamers, I would not mind any cool nostalgic references in the next Leisure Suit Larry game set in the new timeline for good old time’s sake [31]. Heck, how about a parody of rickrolling in Larry’s perspective [19] [35], quite like how I demonstrated it? [9]

Surely if the franchise continues to grow throughout the rest of the 2020s, perhaps there can be more than one playable bachelor or bachelorette, possibly including a new female LGBT protagonist I have mentioned plenty of times [54] [55]. I am highly interested at how Faith was playable in an epilogue the Wet Dreams Don’t Dry as it was a sort of rehash of Passionate Patti being playable in Leisure Suit Larry 3 [5] [34]. Interestingly enough, Larry Lovage could make a comeback after the reception of Wet Dreams Dry Twice as he is indeed Laffer’s nephew who seems to idolise him as he received dating advice from him [3] [25]. Well, that would be the case if there is a huge promise to not make any of the same mistakes Box Office Bust did [32]. Aside from these suggestions on who should be a playable character, what matters the most besides coherent storytelling with witty adult humour and appealing graphics is the overall gameplay and how engaging it can be, especially due to how a player can learn from a slip up during each attempt at guiding a bachelor…or bachelorette safely and logically to each goal throughout the plot [14] [33] [34] [42].

Again, since I take suicide very seriously, I still must strongly suggest making a protagonist commit suicide and referring to it as “a coward’s way out” completely off limits when it comes to providing a variety of ways to lose the game [18] [33] [44] [54] [55], especially if a new playable protagonist in the future of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise will be homosexual, bisexual or pansexual. [14]

Seriousness aside, I would also like to see a return of the bonus challenge that was simply a parody of Where’s Waldo, also known as “Where’s Wally” in the United Kingdom from Leisure Suit Larry: Love For Sail [24] [49]. [17]

Considering the soft-reboot and its sequel are set in the second half of the 2010s and the early 2020s [26] [27] [31], I am quite surprised that Larry Laffer had not even tried ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) yet [6] [51]. Nonetheless, I still believe that providing a spin-off within the Wet Dreams timeline that consists of a new playable homosexual, bisexual or pansexual character can make LGBT gamers feel more welcome in the gaming industry [54] [55], especially outside of Japan [36] [46] [47], but without any lolicon or shotacon of course [45]. We will have some great things to look forward to in 2021, such as the 25th anniversaries of the Pokémon franchise and the Tomb Raider franchise [37] [52] [53]. Whether he has Hypersexual Disorder or not [38], I hope that Larry will be happy and perhaps have children in the next main game in the soft-reboot timeline [26] [27], just like in the last verse of the theme song for Wet Dreams Don’t Dry [7]. I am up for the current era of his life eventually becoming a trilogy in about 2022. Even though he stated that most reboots end up being unsuccessful, I, Lacy Dress Laura, wish Mr. Laffer the best of luck. Feel free to follow me on Instacrap and we can perhaps have a round of Fartnite soon [8] [20].

Aside from what could be next in a third Wet Dreams game in the reboot timeline and perhaps a spin-off that features a pansexual character being playable [26] [27] [31] [54] [55], perhaps there can be a remake of any of the other four classic games from the late 1980s and early 1990s as an alternative plan to the keep the franchise going [1]. I wonder who could voice Passionate Patti in any of those [4] [34]? [1]

I refuse to have this filth displayed in my presence, Mr. Laffer! 500,000 points from Gryffindor [10]! [9]

Lara Croft Goes Cartoony In Tomb Raider Reloaded

Oh...my...Croft! My fellow tomb raiders, another mobile game based on the legacy of the intelligent and beautiful Lara Croft will be released in 2021 [9] [22] [24], the same year when Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice will be available for the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch outside of PCs and Macs [1] [2]. I remember collecting bronze coins as I swiped my fingertip left and right in Lara Croft: Relic Run back in 2015 [23]. I understand that not all of us are fond of mobile gaming due to experiences with specific clichés and inexcusably greedy microtransaction deals [11], but at least there will still be plenty of hope for another Tomb Raider game for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series that could perhaps start another new trilogy that could lead to the newer Lara steadily evolving into the classic one [38] [39]. Keep your twin pistols handy because we need to analyse the trailer for Tomb Raider Reloaded with plenty of caution while our dear animal crossers stay safe and have fun during the third anniversary of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and its exciting update that allows them to include any anthropomorphic camper in a photograph in AR Mode [14] [17].

Behold! Two twin pistols, which means… [9] [24]

It is great to see the classic Lara Croft back in action once again after the acclaim of Shadow of the Tomb Raider [27]. Unfortunately, I doubt that every tomb raider will let the new art style slide [25]. For a moment, I thought a screenshot of the trailer I saw on Twitter was just some nicely done fanart. But nope. It is official. Personally, the idea of a Tomb Raider game in a more cartoony art style is at least refreshing and I think the art style shown in the trailer is basically the 3D equivalent of the classic Lara’s appearance in Brawlhalla [19]. I at least adore how adorable her face looks. You should see the shots of the wolf, the humongous spider, mighty rock creature and the fierce T-Rex...but in a far more cartoony art style of course [9] [22] [24]. I completely understand that the new direction in art quality for a new mobile game seems quite off-putting, but what matters more is that the game should at least have engaging gameplay and an empowering portrayal of our lady in the plot. And yes, it is best not to make it another endless runner as that has already been done [23].

Old school Lara Croft is back, glitches! I would love Tomb Raider Reloaded to feature the option to change her outfit, just like in many previous instalments [29]. [9] [24]

I quite like the design of the forthcoming app’s logo [9] [20] [22] [24]. The aspect that stands out of the most is the words “tomb” and “raider” being coated in a tint of orange with a tint of yellow, thus resembling a depiction of the sky during sunset as each letter to surrounding by a fairly thick outline to help them stand out and maintain readability. Right below them on the bottom part is the word “reloaded” printed on it in white bold font, adding more individuality to the logo’s overall design. I would say the text is more readable than the logos for the first three logos for the franchise that consisted of rock-like texture from 1996 to 2002 [12]. The shapes behind the title resemble the door of a vault that consists of a cog. At least it is not a cog that tells someone to “f*** off” whilst smoking a cigar [13]. Oddly enough, the overall design of the logo reminds me of a fidget spinner, but I still like it for how its colour palette brings out the vibe of a run-of-the-mill premise of a Tomb Raider game, even though it would be wise to not judge a game by its logo.

The title of the forthcoming mobile game could be a big sign of the gameplay being a rehash of a specific era of the franchise [29]. Perhaps we may get to battle a T-Rex once again [7]. [9] [24]

What kind of interests me about the game’s title is the word “reloaded”. Reloaded? Does that mean the upcoming mobile game will be another remake of the first Tomb Raider game that was released in 1996 [28] [29]? Well, I guess that is the case since the remake of Conker’s Bad Fur Day that consisted of more advanced graphics for the Xbox was titled “Conker: Live and Reloaded” [3] [13]. Since there was already a remake of the first Tomb Raider game titled “Tomb Raider Anniversary” back in 2007 [7] [28], I feel as if it would be more necessary to remastered any of the sequels that were established in the late 1990s. Nonetheless, remaking the first game for a second time would be legitimate for celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary in 2021 [29]. A second remake of the first game in a series worked well for Mr. Larry Laffer, right [15] [16] [21]? Besides, the title of his second remake also consisted of the word “reloaded”. It is important for a game’s title to not be potentially misleading, so the term “reloaded” must lead to the upcoming mobile game being a mobile interpretation of any of the games from the classic trilogy, despite how I believe that would be quite an awkward decision.

I find it quite awkward that a remake of a ‘90s console game will be an app for modern mobile devices. Nevertheless, the title of the new Tomb Raider game should not ultimately be misleading as the term “reloaded” in an instalment’s title would be highly likely to mean “remade” in gaming terms [13] [16]. [9] [24]

It seems that my theories on how a spin-off that introduces a deaf archaeologist who communicates with British Sign Language and how a new game introduces Lara on a quest without guns have been proven false [32] [33] [38] [39]. Well, at least for now. In 2021, the time some of our tomb raiders are at least giving Tomb Raider Reloaded a chance [25], plenty of fellow Marvel fans might perhaps enjoy cooking with a certain menacing merc [6]. There will also be the official marketing of the Playdate, a fairly strange contraption with a crank to turn that should hopefully be also available in an edition for left-handed players and a small variety of different colours for more sales after its first season of monochrome games [18] [30] [31]. As much as I would love to listen to an audiobook release of Cooking With Deadpool performed by Ryan Reynolds [4] [5] [36], I would love to cosplay as the younger Lara who became a survivor again once we can all go to gaming conventions again [35]. Here is to a hopefully much safer 2021 that provides a vaccine for defence against coronavirus in order for that and many other opportunities to happen. I never want to live in a year like 2020 again.

“I am so sorry for my off-topic cameo, readers! I hope I can receive some slack since I have been one of Laura’s coping mechanisms throughout 2020 [34]. 2021 will also be my 30th anniversary [37], so she’d better behave herself! I, Wade Wilson, wish the gorgeous tomb raiding chick the best of luck in her upcoming mobile game.” [6]

Mr. Wilson gets some slack. As for Ms. Croft, I wish her the best of luck too! [9] [24]

Would You Love An LGBT Version Of Leisure Suit Larry?

Disclaimer:

This is an article reflecting on a video game franchise that features strong sexual content aimed at mature audiences, along with some concerns regarding suicide, rape jokes and paedophilia. Reader discretion is advised.

When was the last time we heard about a middle-aged man named “Larry” trying to get laid? Ah yes, Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry [2] [6] [17]. I have not read such a filthy game title since the titles of some of the Ratchet and Clank instalments [26] [27]. Despite how a taller Larry Laffer who ended up in the 2010s stated that most reboots “fail” in the trailer for his latest point-and-click adventure that beats itself up [2], I believe there could be a spin-off with some very notable differences that could at least be passable, especially for a new secondary audience. As I stated in the conclusion my article on how a new spin-off of Tomb Raider that features a new character using British Sign Language can appeal to tomb raiders with hearing difficulties [38] [39], I believe a spin-off of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise that is heavily themed on LGBT dating can make homosexual, bisexual and pansexual gamers feel more welcome in the new generation of gaming, which is quite similar to how I believe that there can be an anime based on the Rayman franchise with certain recommendations to radically increase a certain limbless hero’s appeal in Japan [42] [43].

It has been over a year since the soft-reboot of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise was established [2] [6]. Any ideas for more instalments? I have one. [17]

We obviously know that Mr. Laffer is heterosexual [14]. Furthermore, we would need a new homosexual, bisexual or pansexual protagonist for an LGBT-themed spin-off for a new generation of grown-up players. After all, many of us should know that homosexuality, bisexuality and pansexuality are not choices by now [10] [29]. Since a nephew for Mr. Laffer has already been established as “Larry Lovage” in Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude [15], a new protagonist for a new spin-off would need to be his niece who might as well be attracted to both handsome men and provocative women [10]. Making her bisexual would be the best choice as it will balance the premise of trying to seduce beautiful ladies in the previous instalments with a new premise of trying to charm good-looking men for heterosexual female players who are curious to see a role-reversal [30]. Gender equality anyone? Introducing a bisexual or pansexual niece for Mr. Laffer who could be nicknamed “Leisure Dress Lily” as a new playable protagonist should not be a sign of a new perspective in the franchise seeming somewhat misandristic, but it could be an interesting rehash of how Passionate Patti was a playable character in Leisure Suit Larry 5 [1] [19].

Remember Passionate Patti? A new niece for Larry Laffer ought to be playable in an LGBT-themed spin-off to remind older fans of how a woman was playable at some point in the series [1]. [19]

Remember Larry Lovage, Larry Laffer’s nephew? Making a new bisexual niece for Laffer as a sibling for Lovage may be quite tacked on, but it would be a legitimate reason to officially establish her in the franchise. [15]

If there ought to be an LGBT-themed spin-off of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, the portrayal of homosexuals, bisexual and transgendered people should ditch the outdated stereotypes from the previous instalment [10] [13]. In Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out!, Gary Fairy is an over-the-top gay stereotype who results in a game over screen when Larry unzips his trousers at him [12] [31]. At least an LGBT-themed spin-off would let a more open-minded portrayal result in an achievement. The feminine character Shablee who turns out to be male crossdresser forced himself onto Larry in Leisure Suit Larry 6 [21] [30]. Even though the scene in the game was censored, any references to rape simply for shock humour should remain no longer present in the franchise since rape is a very serious subject that should not be taken lightly [8] [20]. Rin from Catherine: Full Body turned out to be a male crossdresser and he has a heart of gold [5] [40] [41]. The themes of homosexuality and so on should be more humanised in order for the perspective of Mr. Laffer’s niece to be appealing to grown-up gamers in the 2020s, but consist of raunchy and clever adult jokes to maintain the charm from the original games. 

Instead of a game over, this would be an achievement in an LGBT-themed spin-off of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise. [31]

If a niece for Mr. Laffer ought to be pansexual, she would not mind if a feminine character turns out to be a male crossdresser. [30]

I am not saying that an LGBT spin-off of Leisure Suit Larry that ditches the outdated LGBT stereotypes of the ‘80s and ‘90s has to be as politically correct as possible [10] [13]. I know that lust and desire towards another fully grown human being are natural, but I can see why some feminist reviewers believed that Mr. Laffer’s perspective saw attractive women solely as objects [11] [31]. Nevertheless, I also completely understand that Al Lowe believed that sacrificing a certain amount of political incorrectness would not please the fans of the franchise, along with how plenty of female players at least tolerated main instalments [11]. Additionally, I am grateful for how the Leisure Suit Larry franchise has never featured any paedophilic or incestuous premises in any of the games [44], along with how Mr. Laffer has never considered being abusive to a woman. I am looking at you, Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey [4] [45]. Making only one or two politically correct alternations occur does not automatically mean that a franchise has to be a paradise for extreme social justice warriors [28]. But aside from that, I think it would be fun to tick off some homophobic hate groups with an LGBT-themed Leisure Suit Larry instalment [7] [34].

A lolicon version of Leisure Suit Larry [44]? Hell no! Not even if it would be a spin-off series for Japanese audiences featuring a Japanese version of Mr. Laffer who has anime-like features like the Japanese version of Crash Bandicoot [3]. We just want a Larry attracted to adult women, thank you very much. [25]

It seems likely that an LGBT-theme spin-off of Leisure Suit Larry will not consist of the same amount of risky adult humour as the original series [31], but I believe that how motivating the point-and-click adventure gameplay would be more important to think about in order for the spin-off to be considered a “good game” [25]. Cartoonish deaths can still be present as a sign of the challenge to progress through the game as logically as possible being present [30] [31], as long as none of the deaths will be the protagonist committing suicide like in the original Leisure Suit Larry game [24], which thankfully was not included in its 2013 remake, Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded [25]. One example of a mishap from making a wrong decision in a previous instalments would be not having enough money to pay a taxi driver, thus being attacked by him in Reloaded. Furthermore, a new spin-off must maintain that unpredictable journey of safely guiding the protagonist with careful thinking. Of course, an LGBT-themed spin-off of Leisure Suit Larry can still have raunchy adult humour [25] [30] [31], as long as there are no jokes involving rape or any outdated gay jokes that could make a new LGBT audience feeling quite betrayed.

As someone who takes suicide very seriously, I must firmly suggest that any characters committing suicide should not be present in another instalment of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, even as shock humour. [24]

There can still be cartoon slapstick because letting a bisexual or pansexual protagonist get it will not make the gameplay homophobic. It will just be a sign of the protagonist getting the same kind of adventure as the heterosexual Larry Laffer. Equality, yes? [31]

It would be highly likely that a new LGBT-themed spin-off of Leisure Suit Larry would be set after the events of Wet Dreams Don’t Dry as if it is a chronological sequel to try and enhance the franchise’s legacy in the 2020s [2] [6] [17]. Larry Laffer, the main man ought to make an appearance to greet and attempt to motivate his niece at some point, even though the fact that he does not understand the term “bisexual” could annoy her [14]. I suppose it would be nice to let Larry Lovage return to the franchise in the vibrant art style of Wet Dreams Don’t Dry after the disastrous reception of Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust from 2009 [16]. Since Larry Laffer only has one sibling [14] [18], it would make sense if his niece is established as Larry Lovage’s sister. Seeing Mr. Laffer and possibly Mr. Lovage interact with a new bisexual or pansexual female relative would not only make an LGBT-themed spin-off more faithful to the franchise but could expand on their perspectives and developments in a new decade of gaming for mature audiences.

Since Wet Dreams Don’t Dry is set in the 2010s instead of the 1980s [17], a new LGBT-themed spin-off would definitely need to be set in the 2010s as well. [6]

Overall, I would love to see a witty and promiscuous, but LGBT-friendly spin-off of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise at some point in the 2020s. Surely the new decade has only just begun and some new instalments of other franchises have been or are yet to be released in 2020 [9] [23] [36] [37], but there will be hope for even more ambition for the next nine years. Suggesting such a concept that will allow new Leisure Suit Larry players to see the franchise’s prime premise in a new perspective to keep it going in a new decade does not automatically make me an extreme social justice warrior [28], but just someone who would be interested in a franchise eventually trying something a little different. Having hopes and discussing suggestions for how to keep a less frequent gaming franchise fresh are signs of proactive, creative and reasonable thinking among our local and online gaming communities. It is no wonder there are mods and fanmade games created by fans of franchises [22] [32] [33] [35]. If you agree or disagree with the idea of an LGBT-themed spin-off of Leisure Suit Larry being established at some point in this new decade, feel free to let yours truly know.

I would not mind if the idea of an LGBT-themed spin-off of Leisure Suit Larry is put into a fanmade game instead of an official instalment. After all, the purpose of a fanmade game is usually to express inspiration from the company and show admiration for the property under fair use, not to simply plagiarize it and support copyright infringement. [35]

Each and every single day, Larry wants it right away! Larry…has a crush on me [6]. [2]
