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.

I never thought of myself as geekyBut maybe I am.
Looking through a lot of these posts people are listing their games consoles as geek possessions. I can't stand the bloody things! Keyboard and mouse are ten times better than a 'joy'pad. That said, we have an x-box 360 in the living room. It plays a vital role in place of the PC we had there so I can watch tv shows and movies from the server.
I also dislike throwing away perfectly good PCs, so at one point I had about 11 PCs in various states of repair and I was desperately trying to think of a use for all of them. Still got one behind the bar to use as a touch screen jukebox.
Length? About three feet stacked up.
