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?

It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

EliteHave a click for getting elite status. Never got past competent, but I guess it was my (dad's) fault for not having a disc drive, and the tape version did not have the missions on it, and you could only get so far attacking the space stations...
