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.

Hmm Let;'s see.I collected and painted warhammer, and yet could never be bothered to play it. Just had a satisfaction of painting them.
I was never a 'cool' kid at school, nor was I a 'geek', I played football at lunch worked hard in lessons and got good grades.
I won a playstation when they came out, owned Amiga 500, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360 but barely play them (although warhawk is getting adictive), detest people that are geeky enough to talk online - stop with your whiney pre-pubesent voices.
I work with computers during the day, play contact sport in my spare time, but if a computer needs fixing, I'm the one the family call.
So not really nerdy at all, just seem to like nerdy things.
