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.

I didn't see the point of the Harry Potter films.You couldn't make them like the books, they weren't improving on them or doing something different, so why bother? Even so, given the amount of money they had to spend, and the willingness of people to be involved, how did they end up so bad?
Incidentally, the makers of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' were wise not to name Father Christmas. I was so anxious that they were going to call him 'Santa Clause' I was getting all hot and shaky. I think I'd actually have walked out of the cinema.
