Amtgard. I was at a Latin convention and I saw a bunch of people doing it outside one of the lecture halls, I thought it looked neat and went over and checked it out... Been doing it ever since.
Have you ever discovered something on accident that you love to this day?

A few years back I was very one minded about music, I only really listened to rock music. I was on my way back from Outdoor Ed, and our driver put on Radio 1. I never actually listened to this kind of music before, but I ended up really liking it.
Also, without prior knowledge Fallout 3 brought me into the world of certain types of old music, which I also liked.
Now I like to listen to every genre of music (except one)

Star Wars... I was 7 and I was exploring some boxes in my moms closet and I found a vinyl copy of the soundtrack to A New Hope. My mom saw me with it and figured I might like the movie... the rest is history as they say.
Its a stupid thing but while i played halo 3 (only played now when a halo junkie needs a team so i can get him to play mw2) is a glitch in which if u shoot a br 3 times and reload it saves u one round of shots. Behold the 3 shot combo.(was called a noob for all the beat downs.....damn maulers)
The Bugle Podcast, when I was looking for information on Hosni Mubarak (buglers here will know what I mean), by John Oliver (also on the daily show) and Andy Zaltzman.
Listen to it now and forever enrich your life, by far the funniest podcast I've ever heard. 160 issues and counting of the finest satirical bullshit ever made.
Edit: Sorry, I thought I could let it lie but I just wasn't strong enough. It's by accident, not on accident.

I accidentally discovered my favourite anime by randomly googling stuff. still love it, but the second season was a bit of a let-down after a very interesting first season. At Least The movie was pretty good.
The Anime? The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Whiskey.
I was at a family event and we were all drinking out of clear plastic cups. I set my coke down on a table and couldn't remember which cup it was a moment later. Only a few were dark and I vaguely remembered where it was so I just grabbed one. It didn't taste the same. All of a sudden my grandpa was running over saying "Hey you shouldn't be drinking that." (I was under-aged at the time) and then it was explained to me that it was actually whiskey and coke.

Sunkist is delicious. We have them at work, and thank
OT: Dragonball Z. I still love that show. I once just stumbled on it while flipping through the channels. Love at first sight. Also the Sly Cooper series. It's one of my favorites of all time. I rented it on a whim one day, bought it the next day from a store.

Heh, My first love of manga comes from the fact that I stole 8 shohen Jumps from my school libary back in 05.
Only good thing about that entire school.
Another thing is my love Of the Champions universe (As in Champions Online) I gotten a free chance to go there last year and now I have a level 23 character.
Smackjeeves, definitely smackjeeves.
I was looking at an online guide for Sonic battle (cause I was a noob at the time) and decided to search for something related to the gizoid, and then accidentally clicked on a comic related to it.
Afterward I read it and then explored the rest of the site. Glad that I did.
It even gave birth to my senseless need to answer questions and sent me to Bob and George, VGcats, LICD, xkcd, APTGG, and a ton of other things.

It's an amazing thing.
Discovered Harry Potter by accident in...4th or 5th grade. We were doing that standardized testing junk and were supposed to bring a book to read if we finished early. One day, I forgot to bring one and had to get one from a table that had a big pile of books on it.
I picked Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone at random. I had hear very little about it at the time, but by the end of the day I was dragging my mom to Target to buy me my own copy so I could finish it.
Since then my mom has dragged ME to get our copies of Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, Half-blood Prince, and Deathly Hallows on their respective launch dates at around 3-4 in the morning.
