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 read it in my twentieswhen I was in bed with chickenpox for a fortnight (it's a bastard when you don't get it as a kid!)
I have to say it went on a bit, and it's no Harlan Coben.
Unusually, the films were much better than the books IMO. They spent more time on the fight scenes, whereas the book spends a huge number of pages on the journey and the battles are over in minutes.
