Killswitch Engage... I accidentally grabbed a CD that I thought was mine from the car of a friend, and it was full of songs of them. I went home, put the CD on my computer and... Well, since then I have loved that band. (In my opnion, at least)
Also, MLP: Friendship is Magic... but nothing that accidental, I just had nothing to do that day, and I clicked the episode in YouTube.
Finally, Dead Space... I hate scary games because they are... well, scary. But two weeks before the release of Dead Space 2, I wanted to buy a game (Can't remember which one) using Games on Demand in Xbox 360. Once I found it, I heard the sound of the doorbell. Before I went downstairs, I asked my sister to buy the selected game on the screen... what I didn't knew, was that when I threw the controller, the sticks moved the selected game to Dead Space, and my Sister tought that was the one I wanted... greatest mistake ever, because I loved both games (Dead Space 1 and 2)

The Setup: I watch a lot of Let's Plays. There's this one LPer called "666theheartless666" who is one of the funniest people I've ever seen.
The Backstory: He uses a video camera to record, so the video quality's not that great.
How It Went Down: I found his videos because I wanted to watch a Let's Play of Siren: Blood Curse. His video was the first to come up. I was such a snob at that time that I didn't want to watch his video because the image quality was low. But because there was no higher resolution LP of it, I went with good old Heartless.
A Reason to be Glad I Found Heartless: (go to around 2:30)
The Aftermath: To this day he is my favorite LPer, and I don't know if I would have ever found him if there was another, higher quality Let's Play of Siren: Blood Curse. Needless to say, I'm glad I found one of the funniest people I've never met.

Manga. I was in a comic book store and I noticed all these, what I thought, thick little books and I had no idea what they were. I picked one up, Blood+, and read the back of it to see what it was. I shrugged and bought it on a whim, and it was an awesome whim.
Silent hill. I was at a friends house and it was the kinda of place where you can walk through the front door without knocking since the family was really cool. I hear my friend freaking out in his room and I went to see what the hell was going on and saw him playing that game. I was intrigued and watched him play it, and then he let me borrow it since he knew I love horror.
Metal. I listened to a lot of jazz, motown, and classical growing up and I was kinda a snob about it. I was channel surfing on my radio when I heard the opening to Diary of a Madman by Ozzy and I instantly fell in love it with. It got me to look into other types of that genre and that song especially is high on my list of favorite songs ever.

I was on StumbleUpon and found the escapist. I have also found several bands that I love on accident.
The mass effect series, i hadn't heard anything about it but i saw it in cex quite cheap so i bought it and now my favourite game series to date
Umm...you take the Macaroni and cheese...and you take the applesauce and then you- never mind, it's far too complicated to remember off the top of my head.Sansha said:
Come to think of it, maybe I SHOULD seriously elaborate on one thing: don't literally mix it all together in a big bowl. Just take a spoonful of M&C and dip it in the sauce. And then prepare for heaven.
"Oooh, KotOR II, I wanna buy that. And hey, I can get Fable TLC with it free! May as well then..."
Alternatively: "This song's pretty good, who's it by? MUSE? I'll look em up later."
And I DID
And they are AWESOME
And this emphasis is SUPERFLUOUS
