You were born closer to Cleopatra's time than to the Stegosaurus

This is from (ostensibly) Christmas 2010 and Portal came out in November 2007. The meme was already beyond dead at that point. pika-cousin-suffering

you can find the redditors by yelling china into the crowd and seeing who responds with Tienanmen holodomor 1984

There's a femme CAD??

also she could have just consulted the handy 'how to spot a fake gamer' guide:

. Frequently pronounces video games 'Bideo Bames'

. Will often say 'I need help passing this level it's really hard' then when you look at their screen it's running Microsoft Excel 2007

. They invite you over to their place to check out their game collection and it's just every season of Frasier (still impressive)

. Their Xbox One is actually a series of tissue boxes glued together with the word 'NINTEMDO' painted over it

. When you ask their favourite video game they respond by doing a series of skilful backflips, temporarily distracting you from having asked the question in the first place

. Keeps a secret diary diary with 'I HATE VIDEO GAMES AND I NEVER PLAY THEM' written on every page

Uh, look out guys, I've located an Epic Gamer who Gets It here.

that website, girlzngames.com, now links to the portfolio of a Jan Winters, who has a pretty dope website showing their film work.

Imdb shows they did some work with devolver in the past, so likely was made aware of this strip, and then lucked out and grabbed the URL. This is my running theory
