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.

not verybut I'm working on it.
before i came to uni, the closest i got was a few rpg games, an a touch of warhammer (fuck me thats expensive).
since getting to uni, ive been studying a maths-heavy physics course, in the spare time ive been lurking/posting on b3ta, ive been to a club 3 times, ive become more heavily involved in piracy, bit torrent, ripping movies and games and had warning messages from our it department for super high levels of bandwidth. on top of that my grades have fallen slight for prefference to learning web and computer languages, ive used linux, edited the windows registry, ive upgraded my and mates computers, i hang about with a group of computer scientists, (atleast) one of which is still a virgin etc etc, and yet i still feel ive a long way to go yet
