10 Nerdy Video Games From The Big Bang Theory You Can Still Play Today

Fan-favorite TV show about a bunch of geeks living and working together often gets flack for how it paints nerds and nerd culture with its cartoony characters, but if there’s one thing it nails, it’s their love for gaming. Comics, science, and video games play a huge role in the show. One would even say they’re two of its biggest crutches, but that’s fine.

The boys (and sometimes girls, too) dive into MMORPGs, Rock Band, and even some toxic online FPS goodness. Out of all the games they play, a few stand out as really making an impact on the story and the characters or creating some of the funniest scenes.

1. Red Dead Redemption

Sadly, we don’t see Sheldon play Red Dead Redemption all that much. He’s just wandering around in the game world, doing nothing really. When someone asks him why, he says he wanted to take a walk to “clear his head” after a fight with Amy. Crazy, we know! But this funny moment highlights just how vast and awesome the open world of RDR is. It’s still hilarious that he didn’t just go outside and instead “went for a walk” inside a game.
