GrumbleGamer 18

Austin (born ), better known online as GrumbleGamer18 (or simply Grumble), is a Canadian gaming YouTuber known mostly for his indie game playthroughs and comedic unboxings.
Grumble uploads various lesser known horror games, as well as his regular unboxing series that has become sort of a hit-piece on Loot-Crate, a subscription service known for their problematic practices. 
In 2020, Grumble took an unannounced hiatus from uploading, along with shutting down his Patreon and becoming inactive on his channel-dedicated Discord server. Beginning in 2023, Grumble began to uploaded new content, with the channel's inaugural comeback upload on the PowerPoint-horror game Roche Limit currently standing as the most successful upload of the comeback. While Grumble had never previously mentioned outsourcing production help for his content, his newest uploads credit the help of his partner Kelly as the video editor. Many fans noted an improvement in the quality of the videos with her added skill set to their production.

=== Let's Plays ===
GrumbleGamer 18 is among one of the few remaining content creators on the platform that still creates gaming content in the style of the golden era of YouTube Gaming. Most YouTubers have had to change their vocabulary in fear of demonetization, but Grumble has completely rid his channel of ads, instead relying on his Patreon.
=== Unboxings ===
On the other side of the channel, Grumble often creates unboxing videos. His most recent unboxings have been a string of Loot Crate Boxes, however, it's been stalled because they haven't sent him any more of the ones he was supposed to receive.
Some of his best Unboxings include his Funko Amazon Mystery Box videos, his Pip-Boy Unboxing, The Mighty Beans Unboxing, and the Japanese Candy Unboxing Videos. Unfortunately, because many of these videos originally featured his ex-fiancée, many of them were removed from his channel in 2022 after he announced the ending of their engagement.
=== Collaborations ===
Grumble has worked on videos with many different channels and friends, but one of the fan favourites from his first videos is easily Ted The Video Game Reviewer. He's been on channels such as Tipster News when dealing with a major automated content claim on his Resident Evil 2 One-Shot, that affected a lot of other channels between the sizes of 1-50k. The claims were finally dropped after widespread attention, and Grumble was one of the main voices in that situation. No matter how small a movement it was, each and every attempt to keep our creative freedom and independence from being taken advantage of is of the utmost importance.
==Personal Life==
=== Relationships ===
On October 9th, 2018, GrumbleGamer 18 made a tweet calling attention to Bethesda asking them to help him propose to his then Girlfriend, Bree. The tweet quickly gained traction, and in the end, the Associate Community Manager for Bethesda, Lady Devann, responded and they put a plan together for the proposal. Finally, on November 14th, 2018, Grumble would film an unboxing video with his Girlfriend, and, to her surprise, he would have her open a custom Lithograph with Vault Bot and Vault Girl on it, and the words "Bree, will you marry me?" Grumble would then say those legendary words that will forever go down in history: "Bree, will you make me not a lone wanderer?" The video would be spread across the internet on sites such as DualShockershttps://www.dualshockers.com/bethesda-fan-proposal/, and even some YouTube news channels like Tipster. The video has over 14,000 views and was the most viewed on the channel.
In July 2022, after a sudden 1 1/2 year long hiatus from uploading, Grumble posted a 15-second video outtake titled Laughing again :) of him and a girl, presumably a new girlfriend, laughing together while attempting to record. Following the release of this clip, in 2022 video titled Hey there, Stranger Grumble announced that his engagement to Bree had ended. Grumble explained those events contributed to his sudden hiatus from uploading between 2020-2022, but does not explain how or why the engagement ended, nor states exactly when it ended. He simply states that “That ship has sailed” and that he “wishes [Bree] the best”.https://youtu.be/zRnT8hIjOj0 Consequently, the video of the proposal was removed from his channel, along with many of the videos featuring Bree, his now ex-fiancée. In the same video, Grumble confirmed the he had a new girlfriend named Kelly, who he said also used to have a YouTube channel and enjoyed making videos on her Instagram and TikTok accounts. He also credited her encouragement for the steady break in his hiatus. 
== Drama ==
On Twitter, GrumbleGamer18 has never been shy to standing out in a crowd. Grumble has been front and centre in many articles, one of his most notable being in a Logan Paul Article in 2019, regarding the fires in the Amazon Rainforests, where they note Logan talking about wanting to help in some way. the main response highlighted against Logan is Grumbles, responding:
"Idk why, I just feel like with your bad luck with forests, the first thing I gotta say is please don’t go to one. It’s better off for the rainforest. Look for a fundraiser, even help send someone that can actually make an impact. Just... not that again."
This of course, in response to Logans suicide forest video from December of 2017.Grumble was both left with fans of Logan angry in the replies of the tweet after the articles, and supporters coming in waves as they noticed the one-sided article.
