Since 2011, Zachary Levi's site Nerd Machine has set up Nerd HQ at Comic Con. It's a microcosm of the con itself, with panels and gaming installations—an oasis for fans, badged and non-badged alike. This year, Nerd HQ is in the Children's Museum, a three-story building across the street from the Convention Center, making it the biggest event in its five-year history; also this year, they've landed themselves a little gaming exclusive. It's the first time EA's upcoming shooter Star Wars: Battlefront has been playable by the public—so you know that means we had to get in there and mix it up.
And by "mix it up," we mean "die repeatedly."
