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.

Er...Having moved to a larger (and detached - yay for loud music!) house I wanted to upgrade my hi-fi. I got some very good NAD components but was buggered if I could find a set of speakers I was happy with. They're generally all made down to a cost (even when you're paying 4 figures for them) and nothing was pushing my buttons.
So I built my own. Took three months.
And you know what? They're fucking fantastic - sound incredible. I'm not just a pretty face see...
And then I went and ruined all my audiophile (note AUDIO) credentials by building a large subwoofer as well - not that my original speakers didn't push plenty of bass out in the first place.
When I venture into nightclubs (it's getting less frequent these days) I frequently think "my hi-fi sounds better than this".
Parties are good at my house :)
