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.

OK, I knew I was nerdy when...Despite spending many an hour playing and endless plethora of computer games, and managing to find my way through vast worlds with relative ease, I find my sense of general direction in the real world is some what lacking. As a result, I decided that rather than wandering around lost for hours on end, I would purchase a SatNav.
And so when the opportunity came later that day to drive to an address in Manchester I eagerly offered to drive, and test my new fangled gadget. I set it up, entered the address and we were on our way. And all went really well all the way there. That is until we got to the end of the journey.
"You have reached your destination" harped Kathy from within the realms of TomTom world. "But where?...I can't see it anywhere" I thought. What was I looking for you ask? A big blue light shining down from the heavens! Thats right, I had as anyone would, mistaken the real world for that of GTA.
