Here are the top five things not to miss, according to David Coleman, co-founder of Nerd Machine, which brings NerdHQ to life.

1, 2, & 3: “You gotta play Battlefield 1, you gotta play Gears of War 4 and you gotta play Titanfall 2, got it?” he said.

4: “You gotta download the Johnson & Johnson donate a photo app, and I’ll tell you why - because it helps us raise money for Operation Smile,” Coleman said. “If you come here and take a photo at our photo booth, that picture gets put to the donate a photo app, and it’s a dollar for Operation Smile through (us.) Take a picture through your own account, and raise another dollar. And you can do that every day of the year.”

5: “If you want to see exclusive, behind-the-scenes interviews follow our account, The Nerd Machine, on (the cellphone app) live.me - all these exclusive interviews from behind-the-scenes, backstage, are on that app,” he said.
