OK, so I introduced my wife to Frozen Bubble as a way to encourage her to boot into the Ubuntu partition occasionally. For a while she was so hooked on the game that I started accusing her of acting like Penny on the Big Bang Theory episode ("The Barbarian Sublimation") where Penny gets addicted to gaming and assumes the on-line persona of "Princess Penelope".
