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 know fine well...I will never beat the stuff on here as I am not incredibly geeky in the old fashioned sense.
I'd say I'm more of a nerd, working out stupid complicated ways of sorting something out which in the long run will save time.
So one night at a mates house watching the football. Half time we play some darts, none of us are great at maths so working out our scores and taken it away from you amount was becoming annoying as hell, as well as time consuming.
The second half of the match didn't amuse me, it was shit to be honest. So I sat there whirling in my head how to come up with a simple excel programme to subtracts amounts and have a final amount at the bottom.
I'm sure you are all reading this thinking "that is fucking nothing".
But to my mates at least that made me a complete geek!!!!
