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.

Fewer people'll read it I post this as a reply..I was in town recently, and I wondered how tall a particular landmark was..
My brain's instinctive response was to say "Right-click and go to properties"
Perhaps it's a sign of schizophrenia, but I'm sure I felt my mind correcting my brain, and I felt both my brain's disappointment, and my mind's smugness.
Smug bastard.
