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.

Oh shit...I just had a terrible realisation.
I'm a graphic designer by day, and do quite a bit on photoshop in my free time too.
I'm not much of a sleeper, at most I'll get 5 hours a night, but last night I woke up after an hour, having a dream about how to achieve a particular effect in photoshop.
I got up, wrote a few key words on my arm in CD marker, Donnie Darko style, so I'd remember and went back to sleep.
When I got to work today, I fired up photoshop, and the bloody thing worked.
So in short, I dreamed about photoshop.
That's actually pretty sad.

That'snot too bad.
I was practicing lucid dreaming once and designed a compressor, including all the maths needed to work out the final compression ratio.
I actually know jack about maths and engineering so I was well impressed.

I dreamed MarioI was stuck on Mario64 level. I had a dream how to do it. The revelation was so great it woke me up it was 5am so it was deemed okay to get up make a cup of tea and see if the dream was true. It was, and I carried on playing, till my GF got up and took the piss out of me.
