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.

ZX SpectrumMy Spectrum was upgraded for free because my sister went to school with Sir Clive Sinclairs' son, Crispin. My Spectrum got upgraded by the man himself!
I had hoped Sir Clive would deliver it back to me by driving round in a C5 and pop in for a game of Elite, but he didn't, the bearded twat.
