Star Wars Fan Smacks Someone Over Spoiler

Star Wars fans take their plots very seriously, but no one gets into any kind of physical agression unless the situation is too critical. But if you see someone in full costume, waiting for hours in line to watch the first of the prequels, you shouldn’t spoil the ending to them. You’ll be in danger of getting smacked right across the face.

A Real Rail Gun

Yes, rail guns are real, not just a neat weapon from a videogame. It’s kind of way they all look the same, with the two horizontal metal bars that seem to electrically shoot something. It has more to do with magnets, and a redditor made the real deal just for an electronics degree.

Calling Friends By Their Gamer Tag

Gaming can create real relationships, but more often than not, you’ll be calling those friends by the name you met them as. This is why, when a redditor met a lot of his online friends in the flesh (during a DOTA 2 tournament), they decided to just stick to their game names instead. Hopefully, they weren’t too silly.

Intense LARPing Session

There’s nothing wrong with a bit of roleplay, especially when everyone is on board with it. A redditor told the story of how he was introducing a friend to the concept, but were caught by a friend who thought they were doing ‘something else’ behind closed doors. They were so embarassed they were caught, that they might as well have been doing something more ‘intimate.’

A Wild D&D Party

Dungeons & Dragons might not be the nerdiest hobby you can have, but it is certainly one of the most popular ones. Collegue students were enjoying a (quite noisy) D&D session when campus police busted in thinking they would find alcohol and who knows what else, but they only found oddly-shapped dice.

No Flirting Noticed

When trying to flirt with a nerd, the main thing you’ll need is clarity. If you ask them to help you with, say, a programming class final project (as a redditor tells it), they won’t notice your advances as they are too focused explaining the subject to you. This redditor only knows about it due to them being told after the fact.
