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.

franspencerI treat the Bond books and films as separate entities. However, it's entertaining spotting which bits of the books crop up in an entirely different film. E.g. In the book Live and Let Die Bond and Solitaire are keel hauled in shark infested waters, and Felix Leiter is mutilated by a shark. Two scenes that crop up in For Your Eyes Only and Licence to Kill respectively.
Having said that, I find the film version of You Only Live Twice superior to the book, which was a couple of hundred pages of Bond poncing around in a castle in Japan.
