Last night Age of Conan was featured as a major plotline in the CBS sitcom called The Big Bang Theory. It was a great episode with Penny getting addicted to Age of Conan, complete with gaming lingo and some humourous in-game action. The CBS Video Clips section is showing several clips from last's night episode, which was "Season 2: Episode 3", but personally I can't get any of the clips to play. Here's a great one from YouTube, where you can find others as well.
Penny feels frustrated by her failure at everything in her life. She becomes obsessed with playing an online game called "The Age of Conan," and Sheldon tries to help with her addiction by giving her tips on how to get to the next level. She calls him at work for help. When she crosses the boundary by going into Sheldon's room in the middle of the night, he's had enough. Leonard tries to get through to her but fails. Sheldon sets up an online dating profile for her and brings home a guy for her to meet that's supposed to be her perfect match. Penny is so far into the game that she doesn't even notice. Only when Wolowitz propositions her does she snap out of it.
