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.

AndJaws. Read the book eventually last year. Way too concerned with the marital discord of the Brodies in my opinion. Not a bad book by any means, but the film was much better, in my opinion.
Where do the Bond books / films fit in? I've seen every Bond movie, read just about all of Fleming's books, and with very few exceptions they are totally different beasts. I like them both.
Also *switches geek chip on* much as I love the original run of Doctor Who, some of the subsequent book versions of individual TV stories were better than what appeared on screen. Then again, they weren't hampered by the odd dodgy set design, special effects and acting. *Geek chip off*
Ahem.
