How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

Nerdy in a couple of ways1) Bit of a games nerd. Used to work in computer games, but was obsessed with them before that anyway. Currently hooked up to my TV, I have: PS1, PS2, PS3, DreamCast, Xbox, Xbox360, GameCube and a SNES. There's about a dozen more tucked away somewhere. I also have a gaming PC, so the missus can get on the regular, web surfing one.
2) History Nerd. The wife has banned me from watching The World At War, since I can repeat every episode, word for word.
3) Fact nerd. Wikipedia is my god. It's got so bad that my missus got me a Page a day diary for Christams and says that I have to put a useless fact on every page. I always win pub quizes.
4) Joke nerd. I have hundreds, maybe even thousands of jokes. Most of them crap. All of them still make me laugh.
