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.

Championship ManagerI used to play it morning, noon, and night. I've kinda given it up now.
Anyway, I played so much that my career used to go on into the 2030/40s. By that time all the in-game personel are completely made up and just on a cycle of ethnic names for their country.
Nevertheless I used to produce match-day programmes featuring 'interviews' with Peter Mudd (star centre-back) or Rene Esposito (the new exciting Peruvian winger)
Look out for next week's edition, a one-on-one with star fitness coach Alan Abrahams! Doesn't exist.
I was Celtic by the way and we won 35 European trophies.

I never played it, but my mates didDid you use frankly ridiculous formations that would get torn to shreds in real life, but due to the programming worked?
