Line 231:
* On one page of ''[[The First Daughter]]'', an alien takes Tash to the top of the Washington Monument, with a top-down view, and the tip is solid stone. A quick look on a sunny day will show you the problem with that.
* [http://nekothekitty.smackjeeves.com/comics/939959/739-showdown-at-the-giant-slug-exhibit/ This episode] of Neko the Kitty is set in a museum, near the Giant Slug exhibit. The author admits to doing no research on museums for this sequence.
* [http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/02/24 This episode] of ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' features Tycho admonishing Gabe for not realizing that the X in ''[[Mega Man X]]'' means ''ten'' (it doesn't). Readers [http://penny-arcade.com/2006/02/24 were quick to point this out, and a war of words soon followed.] Looks even worse since the release of the actual

* [[The Irate Gamer]] is guilty of this in almost every video he makes. There used to be a page at [[TV Tropes]] dedicated to them.
* [[YouTube]] countdown artist Fawful's Minion did a pretty obvious one in his ''Top Ten Video Game Killjoys'' video. Specifically he puts the [[Goldeneye 007| The Aztec Complex]] on the list ([[That One Level| which is perfectly understandable]]) and then says he hopes he didn't offend any "Aztecan Viewers". If he pay attention to any history class he would have that the Aztecs were wiped centuries ago.
* Another countdown artist named Superflipper76 had a few pretty massive mistake in his ''Top Ten Worst Video Game Endings'' video. During the segment on the ending of [[Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3]] He claims that the level takes place in a shopping mall (it doesn't the opening text that shows up ''in his own footage'' clearly list the location as Hotel Oasis) and complains about [[Spoiler| Price and Yuri]] using Juggernaut armor in a game called Modern Warfare 3 when A. Juggernaught armor is based on a suit of real life armor used EOD teams and B. He acts as if armor isn't worn at all by infantry anymore (he even photoshops a knights helmet onto an image of Army soldier while saying "when is the last time you have an army man wearing armor"). You read that right he appearently hasn't heard of body armor.
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] is normally better than [[The Irate Gamer]]; but in his ''[[Castlevania]]'' series, he comes across a few. Among these, he never seems to realize that you had to actually hit the "interact" button to drop the Nitro or the Mandragora by the cracked wall in ''Castlevania 64'', and had repeatedly tried to use it from the item screen for stuff you use on yourself. One can easily assume he didn't have the manual, but even if he was recounting his experiences as a kid, it's pretty impressive that he didn't think to try the "interact" button since he had gotten that far in the game. He then proceeds to mix up ''[[Dawn of Sorrow]]'' and ''[[Aria of Sorrow]]'''s plots and says that ''[[Dawn of Sorrow]]'' is an example of how every game has to take place in Dracula's Castle. Wrong, ''[[Dawn of Sorrow]]'' is so far the ''only'' Castlevania game to ''not'' include Dracula's castle itself; only a simulation. Given that he's shown himself ''playing'' it, it shows he had not really been paying attention to it.
* ''[[Gaia Online]]'' made a terrible mistake whilst describing a new item called Lala the Koala Plushie.
