==History==
Sournale launched his YouTube channel on October 17, 2017. Sam made his channel because he wanted to comment on videos.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyD_65r87eY&list=PL8En3riiGclBGodL7Jbkr0Lq8epBkES4c&index=2 Although what appears to be his first video on his channel, titled "The FEAST Story (Part 1)", made on August 8, 2020, with the video arguably changing everything about the channel to where he is today. Sournale confirmed he unlisted a large amount of videos made from late 2017 to mid-2020 and possibly a total of hundreds of videos with random content. He stated the reason why he unlisted because he found them to be awful/garbage content. The videos unlisted range from real life vlogs, plushie roleplays to short meme and gaming videos. 
On August 2020, Sournale finally shifted his content towards a more serious video style and started making a few scripted videos around late 2020. Though with that being said, between late 2020 and early 2021, Sournale would again put other videos unlisted, claiming he produced "unlisted meme garbage". It wasn't until around late 2021 where Sournale would begin to start producing more reviews and scripted videos. This video change in content would persistent to the present day. 
On March 2021, Sournale started to create a series named "Life With The GimbleGorgs", alongside fellow YouTubers T3rr0r and DatFlippingTomato. All of them voices their own characters, based from their profile pictures. The first season was concluded with a total of 10 episodes. There will be no season 2 or any other episodes after episode 10. 
On May 2, 2021, Sournale uploaded a video titled "Slendytubbies Is a Broken Masterpiece", in which he would criticizes while praising the parody/horror video game series, citing it's good side and it's flaws. The video received a lot of positivity to the point Zeoworks, the creator of the Slendytubbies franchise, made a comment to explain and answer Sournale's questions on the Slendytubbies franchise. It is so far Sournale's most viewed video to date.
On July 21st, 2021 Sournale would upload a video of the video game Team Fortress 2 featuring all the actors of the game's characters saying the word "gaming", which would soon gain popularity days later. He would later on make a sequel on August 13th, 2021, which is currently unlisted due to low quality. Eventually Sournale would get monetized on Aug 23rd, 2022 due to the traction of the Team Fortress 2 video. Sournale would then garnered over 1,000,000 views since February 28th, 2022.
Sournale would also go on to make 2 ARG's over the course of 2021 and 2022. With his more famous one being the Slendytubbies VHS series made in March 2022, accounting for 7 official videos he made with other youtubers also being canon to his story. A more less known ARG he made can be found in a playlist of his titled 'MARCUS Saga' made back in September 2021, which seems to be a subject of one of Sournale's friends turning into scary pictures.

Sournale would later create a second channel named Sweetnale on July 20, 2022. He would post alternative videos, either be cut content from his main channel or him playing video games with his friends. The channel has mostly short videos of less than a minute duration.
