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.

Such a nerd...When I was in middle school, we had BBC micro computers for computer science classes. The teacher, also a nerd, had developed a very simple top-down pool table program that bounced balls off of the cushions non stop.
I complained because the physics of the ball bouncing off of the cushions didn't take into effect the momentum of the balls, the density of the balls, the rigidity of the cushions, and any spin created from the bounces.
The teacher was unimpressed that I complained about how crap his little baby was.
