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.

Jet Set WillyYou needed to collect 82 'items' before the house keeper vanished and you could go to bed. (Once you touched the bed, JSW went over to the toilet, stuck his head down it and kicked his legs).
When I completed it, I hoped - against all hope - to be the person who won the competition to meet Matthew Smith and to go out in a helecopter.
I called the number on the inlay card (which kept safe that key-code thing) and was informed that 'the competition ended 4 years ago!'
How rubbish is that?
Oh - when i think about it.... 6031769 was the code you needed to type in to Manic Miner for the boot to appear, this additional icon allowed you to choose your location within the game. You had to have the number 6 as one of your simultaniously hit keys.
Sorry.
Mullered.
