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.

the muppets mentioning idclipare obviously unaware that it does the same as idspispopd and why the latter is so called.
They're not geeks, clearly.

it only got so badwhen i used to sit in lectures and think of the actual sequences needed to enter these codes. Cue a very bored Schumann tap-tap-tapping on an invisible keyboard all the codes to get him through Doom 2.

To be really anally retentive...I believe IDISPISPOPD worked for Doom (& Ultimate Doom), but was abbreviated to IDCLIP for Doom II (& Final Doom).
Yes, IDDQD killed you in Heretic; similarly IDKFA took all your weapons away.
