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.

To be fair, I'm pretty nerdyBut I don't obsessively order everything in order, like DVDs and whatnot. I just remember where I put them last- damned good memory, that's my geek trait.
Oh, and being able to quote h2g2 line and verse, and still being proud of the fact that I had the enormous privilege of interviewing Douglas Adams.
Oh, and teaching myself html at the age of 16. Only laziness prevented me from going any further.
Quoting lots of things line and verse... oh Christ I'm fucked, aren't I?
