LONDON -- When you get a present from someone983 Archives you can normally tell how much effort has gone into it.
The ones that you remember the most -- the ones that really mean something -- aren't always the biggest or most expensive gifts, either; they're often the ones that are the most personal to you.

Forward told Mashablethat his 25-year-old brother Iain is thoughtful and has a kind heart. He likes to put in effort when it comes to presents, too.
"We have a good relationship, but don't really get to see each other much," Forward explained. "I was just taken aback as the world of drag and drag race is so far removed from his everyday life and the circles he moves in.
"He must have seen me at nights on Facebook or in drag at Sink the Pink, and thought it would make a good gift."
Forward said they never really speak about his sexuality, which made the present more meaningful.
"I guess he's known for a while and is cool with it," he said.
"We went out to a queer night in Leeds called Suck My Left One at the Commonplace years ago with my then boyfriend, and I loved that as it was the first time I had really been queer, open, social and unashamed with family. We have a religious background so I guess that factors into it."
At the time of writing, Forward's tweet has been shared over 3,000 times. He said he's found the response overwhelming.
"It was just a tweet to friends but the notifications have been relentless, so it's obviously keyed into something with people."

"Was more touched than anything by the level of thought he'd put into it as it's so outside his usual reference points, like exposing himself to drag, finding the drag queens, making it all," said Forward. "It's hours of dedication and something totally fresh for us.
"Love him."
No word from RuPaul on whether this will become a commercially available game or not, but judging from the delighted reactions -- and attempts by others to make the game -- there'd be a lot of people playing it.
