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.

@misanthrope:You'd have done well. Everyone makes their robot as heavy as possible - you bolt on as much armour as you can within the limit (100kg). Getting low gearing is quite difficult as prebuilt gearboxes appropriate to the scale are either very expensive or very heavy. I didn't want a weapon on my robot, but the series 7 rules required that you had one - hence the flimsy arrangement on the robot on my profile pic which I expected would break off so I could get on with just ramming the opponent :)
