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.

They murdered Captain Corelli's Mandolin when they made the movie :(Memoirs of a Geisha wasn't perfect either, and they're my two favourite books ever. The book of Breakfast at Tiffany's is a lot darker than the movie, but conversely the TV adaptation of Sugar Rush is way better than the book! I also must be honest, I really don't see the Harry Potter appeal - perhaps being surrounded by rabid fangirls who write horrible slash has jaded me, but the books are Really Not That Great.
