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.

^True. I was being a tad flippant. The books are mostly a damned good read - a product of their time, but no worse for that.
Still prefer the film version of YOLT though... Although I'm reworking my way through the books thanks to the matching set in retro covers I got for christmas, so perhaps I'll re-evaluate. It's been about 7 years since I last read it. Times and tastes change...
