MMORPGs spied on TV...

in The Pub at MMORPG.COM
A bit out of date I know but I have just watched the second episode of the sitcom Superstore and in the background I spied a Trion Poster and Defiance collector edition boxes!

Has anyone else noticed a MMORPG placement on purpose or by accident in a mainstream TV show?

(Expecting a zero response but had to post it!)

    Big Bang Theory had alot.

    Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...

    Big Bang Theory had Age of Conan, World of Warcraft and Rift. I saw a post one claiming there was a Lineage 2 poster on the wall of Howard's room.

    Obviously South Park had "World of Warcraft"


    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    Oh yes I recall Sheldon logging off and letting them all die while he went off to sell his sword on Ebay.

    I believe that was a full-on, old-school, ninja-loot operation, not a case of logging off.

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    Yeah Big Bang Theory had gaming retro and mmorpgs in it all the time, I remember Penny being addicted to Age of Conan and leading a raid!

    BBT also had some fun nods to City of Heroes IIRC. 

    Warcraft have had a few small shout outs in different series when a character is supposed to be a "gamer" 

    Beyond that it is mostly shooters that get the spotlight due to the easy to grasp visuals and widespread recognition.

    This have been a good conversation

    I think TBBT also had the main characters playing SWTOR in an episode but didn't actually say the name.
