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.

parents coming home early to find me with the TV on the floor and one of those old style tape recorders pressed against the speaker to record my Bladerunner video onto a 90 minute cassette
used to listen to it whilst painting (maybe over thirty times before I moved on)- me and the other bladerunner nerds used to fire quotes at each other in school during art class
