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.

You're not alone!
I often do the same thing, quoting that such a band was formed by bits of one and the other, and so on and so forth.
It's usually a rock/metal thing to know such level of pedantry, and it's usually a "bloke thing".
I like finding out who comes from where with music, and who they're mates with etc.
