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.

Its An Addiction.....im fairly nerdy,never been too much of a problem for me,i get excited about sci-fi programs,computer games (resident evil being a major obsession),own some merchandise,nothing exceptionally nerdy but enough to make other nerds go "yeah,iv got one of those....."
and yeah i check certain websites every day
but my obsession is one website above all others (unfortunately not this one,though i do check it every day)
that website is
IMDB
i simply cannot get over how amazing this website is,i must visit it at least four or five times a day, if i watch a film (sometimes WHILE watching a film), the first thing i do is check it on imdb,the trivia,the memorable quotes the forums i need to know it ALL.
i even do it with films iv never seen or have any intention of seeing, i was flicking through the channels and noticed "chicago" was on.....iv never seen it yet almost in a trance i was typing it into the search before learning that John Travolta, Kevin Spacey, John Cusack and Hugh Jackman were all considered for the role of Billy Flynn.
i dont know who the hell billy flynn is
iv also got to wondering what i did when i vaguley recognised an actor and wondered what film its for, did i just wander around in a daze racking my brain, i honestly dont remember
the really sad thing is i know im addicted yet i dont care,long live IMDB
