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.

CollectingI've collected various things over the years: comics, kung fu movies, Star Wars memorabilia, Micro Machines, but my first ever collection kind of takes the biscuit.
My first collection was ..... rocks! (Stones, minerals, crystals...). I even had a dedicated set of shelves that I bought mirrors for, to display the fine examples of iron pyrite and agates that I had managed to get hold of.
Does this make me a geek, nerd, or just sad?
