“I paused my game to be here” (gaming saying)

“I paused my game to be here” is a jocular gaming saying that has been printed on many images. For a gamer to pause a game, something else must be very important!
 
“Rocket Factory I Paused My Game to Be Here Kids and Toddler T-shirt http://goo.gl/D0dZGa” was posted on Twitter by Bryan Fernandez on March 14, 2015. The saying has been trademarked with a date of first use in commerce of January 2, 2015.
