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.

JuniorThat's because you're a young whippersnapper who has been brought up on inferior sci-fi. Us old farts remember Star Wars for the first time.
Although, to be honest...I know what you mean. I ended up in IT by accident and I've been turned down parole three times.
I'd rather be out and about than sitting in front of a computer...
