Matthew Judge, better known as DarkViperAU, is an Australian YouTuber and livestreamer. He is best known for his Grand Theft Auto V speedruns and his Pacifist% series.
Life and Education
Matthew Judge was born in 1991. He went on to study at Swinburne University of Technology, where he graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of Social Science in Psychology, a background that would later inform his thoughtful, discussion-driven approach to early content creation.
Internet presence
Judge began his online career on YouTube, where he initially focused on discussing topics in politics, religion, and philosophy rather than gaming. His path shifted in 2014, when he discovered Twitch through Hearthstone tournaments, an experience that drew him toward gaming content and eventually led him to specialize in speedrunning Grand Theft Auto V. In the early stages of his career, Judge began uploading failed runs and highlight clips from his Twitch streams to YouTube, a practice that steadily helped him cultivate a dedicated and engaged fanbase.
YouTube Content
Over time, DarkViperAU's YouTube channel evolved into a platform centered primarily around GTA V challenges, most notably his Facts & Glitches series alongside broader GTA Online content. While GTA V remains his core focus, he occasionally branches out to other titles, including Hitman and Minecraft, offering variety for his audience without straying far from his established niche. Among his body of work, his inventive challenge formats—particularly the Pacifist% and One-Hit KO (OHKO) series—stand out as some of his most popular and defining content.
Twitch Presence
DarkViperAU has cultivated a substantial following on Twitch, amassing over 700,000 followers and more than 16 million views. His channel reached a peak of 14,091 concurrent viewers, a testament to his recognition as a leading figure in GTA V content and creative challenge runs. Beyond his signature GTA V challenges, Judge's Twitch streams also feature playthroughs of other titles, including Noita, Slay the Spire, and The Binding of Isaac, though GTA V challenges remain the centerpiece of his streaming output—many of which are later refined and edited for release on his YouTube channel.
Notable Series and Speedruns
