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.

Football NutterageA trainee here at work drives me mental with incessant talk about football. Scores, players, managers, songs. Absolutely glasgow rangers mad. Its geekism pure and simple. It sounds like a spread sheet of a league table. ANd as for championship manager type games, now that is sad. They're not games. They're work. You don't even see your imaginary team playing its matches (at least, not in any of the versions I've had the misfortune of being exposed to by people)

You do nowon the most recent versions of Football Manager. And by 'players' of course I mean 'circles' :O)

Circlesdon't qualify as players IMO. But that is a small improvement I suppose, I'll give you that much. IF I hear a Rangers song/statistic one more time I may go insane(er)

Ahhh......but it is very satisfying when said circle screams the winning goal in to the net from 25 yards.
I feel sorry for Old Firm fans, must be a dull existence...

Old Firm fan hereNot a particularly boring existence - there's always enough of us around to ensure a decent argument.
Could be worse though, could be a New Firm fan, or even Hearts.....
