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.

My humble opinionok, so by and large, your entietly correct. I hate people who say "I'll wait for the film" what, is 300 pages of the da vinchi code too big a struggle (i like the book, trashy, innaccurate but kept me guessing). Most movies of books I love fall short, Potter as a prime example. outhers make me feel ill, Eragon was so bad i couldent sleep. got half way through and the plot was literaly raped. Im a geek, Eragon was a favorite book of mine, the sequal, eldest was a great follow up, i was excited to find that instead of a trilogy, its going to be 4 books long. the idea of anouther film makes me feel sick, like i want too cry. im 21.
that said, lord of the rings was a struggle to read. at least two chapters of paint drying before on that was actualy exciting. the films took the best bits, and added some good sections themselves. ok, it strays far from the origional text but god it was worth it.
