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.

When I was a kid I read the fighting fantasy booksand played Warhammer 40K, Spacehulk and even made my own rules
up for Kerrunch to make it more like American Football. All this I
eventually grew out of. Now what I do love is a good episode of 'Extreme
Engineering' especially when a good analogy is used. Football pitches
for length, but my favourite was fitting a whole brass band into one of the
buckets on an open cast coal mining machine.
