In the game (embedded below) you use your WASD or arrow keys to move Henne, who floating via a weather balloon, and use the mouse to aim and shoot down oncoming birds, rainbows, helicopters and other objects collect more time and waste taxpayers money. It even has a running total of money earned, uh, wasted by people playing the game, er, Henne’s media attention.

Alternate Disc-Tractions: The Big Bang Theory complete second season on DVD
The Big Bang Theory celebrates all that is geeky, a lot that is nerdy and delivers just enough underdog romance to keep even the unsuspecting viewer interested.

It’s a formula that’s worked from the beginning of the series and has nicely improved throughout the second season.
