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 ruined my life with nerdiness.I work in a factory, I could have finished University and gotten a good job but I spend all my time instead playing online games and doing things for the lulz. I think these points prove my nerdiness. I'm female too, I don't know what the hell happened.
1. One time my laptop was away for repair and instead of leaving the house I played ps2 for a week straight because it's the closest to a computer I had.
2. I collect vintage games consoles and creamed myself when I got a megadrive with 11 games off of ebay. I even stayed up until 6am in case anyone outbid me.
3. I've picked up so much useless trivia from the internet I've forgotten how to speak French. People have said things to me like "what's that film where everyone was underground?" and I immediately knew the answer.
4. I own several action figures, still in their original box due to value.
5. I have a big poster of Doctor Who standing outside the Tardis on my wall and one of those sonic screwdriver toys. I'm 26 years old.
6. I still live with my mum.
7. Oh, and I'm also a Trekkie.

ummm...why buy a megadrive when you can just download emulators and ROM's for the games and play them on your very own computer?

My friend(also female) has a sonic screwdriver too. You're definately not alone there.
brotagaia, it's just not the same. (My brother ran off with our old megadrive, to my annoyance.)
