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'm a geek of the highest order.I was heavily into war hammer.
I read the dictionary for fun.
I still use my spectrum 48k.
I have everything ever released on suburban base and moving shadow.
My next to the toilet reading books are all grammars of English.
My conversation in the pub usually turns to science.
I spend a good 30 hours a week playing internet poker.
And, I'm ashamed to say, I've read all the Terry Prachett books.

I do pretty well.I'm not a bad player, I haven't reloaded my account for nearly two years, and finished in the top 200 on ladbrokes mtt leaderboard last year.
I'm not so good live, I usually win against my mates, and have come first in a small tourny in Vegas, but no big wins.
