The most important question of this E3.
It's pretty nonsense at this point. I hope Dan doesn't kill the goodwill that Austin Walker (perpetual nice person) has towards him.
I haven't had a chance to watch really any of GB streams besides Bethesda last night but I saw Dan offer Austin some snacks from under the table during it and laughed pretty hard. Knowing that that's been a running bit makes me want to go through and watch the rest of the streams I missed.
Austin knows that every interaction he has with Dan is basically "you're only going to look like an ass if you do something to make this kid cry".
That said, I want Austin to take a twinkie, unwrap it, move it toward his open mouth, then hatefully throw it off screen.
Edit: Later Dan's indelicacy is going to lead to him doing this to Rami Ismail before nightfall and just, yeah...
No comment on the fact Austin accepted only to pull forks out of the twinkie box to put out in front of Dan?
@renegadedoppelganger: That's fucking great.
@bisonhero: I need this in gif form.
It's probably my favorite E3 bit the site's ever done? Lost it laughing when Austin finally accepted the box of Twinkies, only to pull silverware out of it and arrange it on the table in front of him. The fact that they've been managing straight faces the entire time is incredible.

I don't have the gif, but the cup had popcorn in it. Dan poured it into Austin's lap and then Austin started eating the popcorn with a fork that he got from the box of Twinkies earlier.
Sadly I cannot append the poll options.
yes! that's the one, what happened there!!!! I was watching the Sony stream and was BAFFLED What happened there........ does Austin have like a town on his lap? Or another cup?...... is this one big elaborate Andy Kaufman joke?
The snack offerings, definitely. I was like "what.. didn't he just offer him twinkies??" and then yesterday, Austin accepted and pulled out cutlery from the twinkies box?? WHAT'S HAPPENING!??
I kind of thought Austin was going to stab Dan when he picked up the fork.
Also: Is that Ska?
But my favorite was indeed the snack thing.
I can't remember exactly what series I'm talking about but the knives remind me somewhat of an old Game Informer joke where Reiner gets mad at somebody for having a styrofoam cup on camera in an effort to "class it up". The next episode begins and there are like 50 foam cups on the table. Nobody ever mentions it or acknowledges it in any way. Hardest I laughed in a while. Unrelated but I also remember the Getting Up replay where every one of them calls it "getting it up" the whole time without breaking character. Those guys just crack me up dude. I see where Dan gets it sometimes.
in spirit of Quake.... if it's SKA, THIS MEANS WAR!!!!
Dan and Austin doing completely deadpan bits is the funniest thing I've seen on this site in a long time. I thought I missed something when Dan kept offering food or emptied a cup in Austin's lap but nope. Just hilarious.
I can't take it... every stream Dan has more sugary snacks to offer to the great Austin. The man was already a national treasure but now he's a magician.
Dan materialized a coffee maker, and Austin made everyone delicious coffee complete with milk and sugar. Bless this bit.
