"The Big Bang Theory" - October 6, 2008 episode

Sheldon's online, multiplayer game of Conan is interrupted by Penny unsuccessfully getting in her apartment because she put her car key in the lock rather than her door key. She's depressed because she's been in L.A. for two years and has never gotten an acting role, she hasn't gotten a raise at work, she accidentally ate a fly, and the locksmith will be there when he's there to help her out. Sheldon reluctantly invites her to wait in his apartment, where he then introduces her to the Conan game.

How cute was that little calico kitty licking her melting ice cream?

Sheldon unwittingly creates a monster because Penny gets addicted to the game, playing non-stop, neglecting everything else and hounding Sheldon day and night, wherever he is when she needs help. Leonard tells him to just ask Penny to stop, but he says he has texted her and even sent a very emphatic Twitter message! All to no avail.

Sheldon even signs her up for an online dating service, but she has zero interest in the firefighter who shows up.

At one point, Penny is playing, and a stranger joins her in the game. It's Howard, who invites her to the local tavern, which Penny accepts. That's when Penny knows she's gone too far and needs to quit.
