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 fucking RobotWill Smith makes good entertaining froth, but if you must make a film about a rogue robot who's ass gets kicked by a mean non-pink male detectivey type with personal issues who's the best man for the job and his ass is on the line and the chief wants him sacked, don't base the title on a white lady robotist who finds a rogue robot through cold logic and doesn't use any kind of firearm. What's next?
"The Wizard Of Oz!!"
The Wizard is a tough Brooklyn drugs lord!
Dorothy is a Rookie, fresh outta Kansas Police School!
She wants to bring him down!!
Lt John Tinman was double crossed by the Wizard years ago, now he's on the wrong side of the law!
Sgt John Scarecrow has been after Wizard's ass for years!
John Lion is the new kid on the block!!
Yellowbrick Road is his turf, there ain't nobody gonna stop him!!
"This ain't Kansas no more!!"
Fade to black.
Thanks, I feel better now.
