Bragging Rights!

Congrats to our King!

Really, though, what kind of list is that? How does Bill Gates not make it? And Scully there but not Mulder? Where's Doogie Houser? Where's Carrot Top? Where's Wesley Crusher? Where's Napoleon Dynamite? Where's Stephen Hawking?

Not to mention that they mix nerds and geeks. If you ask me, Gary's actually King of the Geeks, not nerds, which is actually much cooler.

Did you really invent the 20-sided die, or was that just a joke from the article? I mean, I'd think that was present before, in Wargaming or something like that.

I remember seeing an article a long time back with a picture of a preserved Roman Empire-Era d20. Gary does get the kudos for mass producing the venerable polyhedron though!

Congrats Gary, and good luck!

You beat Bill Gates by a long shot, Gary!

Yeah, anytime a person can "out-nerd" Bill Gates, some sort of ceremony is in order. Congratulations!

Hail to the king! I agree though, where the spork was Bill Gates on that list?

Although having "The Fonz" up so high on that list made me laugh. And I still worship Quentin Tarantino, like Tori Amos' music, find Natalie Portman attractive, and have every intention of spending next year in Japan.

I guess that makes me on heck of a nerd.

Gary, you rule. Now its official.

Congrats! I always knew you had it in you.

 

[CrusaderX]

Congrats, Gary! Long may you reign.

Proud to be a nerd serf. Long live the King.

PS Gary, your profile link takes me to a german jewelry website.

Does this mean we have to start calling you Mr. Gygax again?

Cool all the same.

Heh,

Okay, and I do believe the 20-sided shape, the icosahedron, is accredited to Plato as one of the six geometric shapes he established as having equal sides.

My coronation by Sync means that I must be supplied with coffee and a doughnut in the morning, an ale anytime from noon onwards, if you are a gamer and happen to see me in a place serving same and me without such fare...pretty unlikely

As for the form of address, as one of my old buddies was want to say,"Call me anything you like as long as it isn't late for supper."

Cheers,
Gary

(Dude, you won already! you can stop doing that now

Thank you for the countless hours of enjoyment. Thank you for the distractions from the real world. Thank you for giving us a way to step into worlds of magic and wonder. Thank you for giving us a way to live out grand adventures we would never have known otherwise. Thank you for giving us a way to make the realms of our imaginations come to life. There are just so many things to thank you for!
