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.

This happened over the weekend...On Saturday morning, I met the original Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch), at a signing at Addict in Seven Dials. He was very nice, and signed a shirt for Mr BobFossil, and a poster for me.
Then on Saturday evening, I went to the England/Wales/N. Ireland/Channel Islands premier of "Grindhouse" at the Prince Charles Cinema, and met Edgar Wright, and got him to sign a book for me.
I was the happiest geek in the world that day.
