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.

BondThe books have always been superior. They're a bit dated now, but that kind of makes them period pieces. Plus, the textual Bond never went through the smirking Roger Moore stage.
Edit: Agree on Jaws. The book was a disappointment. Just shows you what a good director can do. Another example is Elmore Leonard's books - almost all made into films, but only one was any good: Out of Sight with Lopez and Clooney
