As Grandma Egotastic always says, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. She also likes to bitch that we never visit her in the home any more, but that has little bearing on where we're going with this. We won't bother mentioning it.

On them thar interwebs, one of the biggest ‘lemons' is shit-tastic spamtastic spam. Nary a day goes by that we aren't subjected to poorly spelt ads for viagra, or wang enlargment drugs, or African princes promising to share their great wealth with us if we just give them our bank details (in his defense, though, Prince Ngambobo VIII sounded like a stand-up guy to us).

So where does the lemonade come in here? For Chicago developers The Men Who Wear Many Hats, with Max Gentlemen. As pissed by this dick-based spam as everybody else, they crafted a game inspired by it. Out of, y'know, defiance, or spite or balls-out madness or whichever.

Yes indeed. Feast your eyes. The game is about '...stacking hats while hilariously muscular gentlemen brawl and tussle and sensually wax each others' moustaches and all the other things hilariously muscular gentlemen do,' quoth Kotaku, and who could resist that proposition? Not us, that's for damn sure.
