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 did the same thing!When I was doing A level maths (which was way over my head), I had to use a programmable calculator. I tried to program a simple dice game I invented onto it, but didn't have the programming knowledge to get it working. Instead, I programmed a horse betting game onto it, which I copied from a list of keystrokes from the web. I showed it to my mates, and they were like 'If you can get that working, then why are you so bad at maths?' I still can't program.
