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.

Not me but my boy of 3.5...... calls his small etch-a-sketch type thingie 'my little iPhone'. It's about the same size.
Had his first 'laptop' (leapfrog type thing, just so he would let go of our laptops) at 1.
Not that he can't use my iPhone. Takes pictures, looks at them, zooms in, chooses the video he'd like to watch etc.
He also beat his parents at Wii bowling.
Does that count?

Mine's the samehe could turn on the laptop, open firefox and find the cbeebies website and complete most of the puzzles and games on there (even ones I can't). All this when he was 14 months old.
He can't beat me at wii bowling though.
boxing on the other hand....
