I will forever remember a cop show (NCIS, maybe?) where one of the detectives goes into the room of a gamer-woman, somehow discerns her PC's specs just by looking at the case, then immediately realizes who she is and starts saying shit like, "Wait, you're [insert random haxxorz name here]? You... you hold the high score on nearly every MMO on the market!"

This was back in the 2000s, but even then I felt like saying, "Dude, I *guarantee* you there is at least one person on your staff who has played a video game before, and they should be line-editing this part of the script, because this shit is just fuckin' embarrassing."
From what I'm gathering, writers aren't an agreeable bunch, and executives DEFINITELY dgaf about portraying cultures accurately when the advertisers aren't targeting that demographic

edit: I'd bet the writers had the conversation that they need to throw "high score" into it so the geriatrics would understand something in the sentence
