It's especially concerning when it extends to global/political issues (this is why I said this might be controversial). Reading a quick Wikipedia summary and/or article can go a long way

One of my favorite examples of people getting things embarrassingly wrong is the "Taiwan is not part of China" crowd. Both sides historically disagree with this. Taiwan being a part of China is not some point that has been in dispute until very recently.

The disagreement has historically been over which is the "rightful government". Sure sentiments in Taiwan have been changing but even this year there was a former Taiwanese president saying this explicitly

Any of the dumbass Americans who proudly declare "Taiwan is not and never has been a part of China" can be easily dismissed.

Modern Warfare 2 (the first one). When you're climbing the ice wall and you fall and get caught, the level of detail on the face was astounding to kid me. It was like watching something in real life to me.

Probably helped that it was off of my sister's high def TV.

I've been playing games ever since I was a little kid, I don't really remember any particular "first game". We did have an old SNES that I did all the time so probably Super Mario World I guess.
