DarkViperAU measures the GTA 6 wait in milk expiry dates
His brief countdown joke draws an unusually fast audience, while viewers check whether their own cartons can back him up.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 556,542 views a day, 6.9 times a normal first day on this channel (80,214).
We Are THAT Close - GTA 6 News #gta6 #gtavi #gtaonline
DarkViperAU delivers his news, then simply smiles at the camera. There is no trailer to dissect or map to scrutinise. His measure of GTA 6's proximity is sitting in the fridge.
"If you buy a carton of milk right now, it'll expire after GTA 6 releases," he says in "We Are THAT Close - GTA 6 News #gta6 #gtavi #gtaonline". A closer shot of his silent grin does the rest.
The Short has drawn roughly 360,000 views in eleven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for the format.
Viewers are putting the comparison through a decidedly practical test. Some report expiry dates that fit his countdown; others say their milk barely lasts a few days. One turns it back into a speedrunning joke, imagining getting through the expiry date faster.
For a creator whose most-watched regular upload documents finishing GTA V without taking any damage, this is an unusually domestic way to mark the wait. His other GTA 6 uploads that day concern banners and an update. Here, the entire bulletin is a carton and a smile.

The milk I buy usually expires around 5 days after purchase. It’s not there just yet for me!
