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.

Does this count?
I know my way around the Spectrum version of Sabre Wulf off by heart.
Until recently, I last played it 20 years ago.
I'm now a member of the 'I've got 100%* on Sabre Wulf' club**.
When I replayed it, I knew exactly where to go.
*visiting every screen.
** club may not exist.
