Online gaming addiction: Big Bang Theory


During break I was watching Big Bang Theory and saw a fascinating episode where it dealt with online gaming addiction. As I was watching this episode, it brought up interesting ideas on what online gaming does for you. The main idea that was portrayed in this episode is that online gaming is an escape from reality. In other words Penny escapes from her frustrations and immerses herself into a virtual world. It was fascinating to see how TV was able to point that out, and especially at the end of the episode when it shows how Penny was able to get out the addiction.

It was fascinating to see how TV portrays online gaming addiction, especially how Penny sits at home and misses work. Is that the stereotype of online gamers? or does tv capture the picture of gamers correctly?
