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.

Well....I used to think i was a true geek...
I have spent days at a time sat in my room watching the entire run of Stargate/Farscape/The X-Files/A New Generation
I own every Terry Pratchett book (except "Once More With Footnotes" because I cant afford it)
I'd read LOTR at least 7 times by the age of 14 (Ive lost count now)
I spend most my free time either on here, wikipedia or playing conservatroll
Also, and this bit is important, I'm a massive GW nut (my local store stopped me taking part in their monthly quizzes because i never lost.) I even became a staff member for a year or so...
However I had been reading this QOTW and had started to feel slightly smug, compared to some of my fellow B3tards I seem a veritable font of social skills. (Yay me!)
This being the case I went out last night with a skip in my step and a near terminal caffiene overdose. The night progressed (as they often do) and things were going well between me and this friend of mine S (name witheld to protect the poor girl).
It got to that point where you have to choose whether to back off or dive in head first and giggling (and hope ostracism is just something that happens to other people). I went to the bar to get a drink so I could weigh up the pros and cons (definately alot more pros than cons, Ive always been a sucker for hot blondes ;-) )
All I heard was a voice in my head going
"Go on my son, For The Emperor"
I fail in so many ways...
