**Matthew "Matt" Judge** (born: March 15th, 1991, age: 32), better known as **DarkViperAU**, is an Australian Twitch streamer and YouTuber known for his **Grand Theft Auto V speedruns**, **No Damage**, **Pacifist%** and **Chaos mod** series.

## Personal life

Matthew is born on March 15, 1991. In 2016, he graduated from Swinburne University of Technology with a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology). A recording of the ceremony was found years later by his audience. Upon completing his bachelor's degree in 2016, he shared his current home with two roommates. However, he eventually became the sole occupant and purchased the property in 2022.

## Trivia

* Matthew has a sister.
* He is based in Sydney, Australia, and lives alone.
* Despite his love of cats and dogs, Matthew does not own any pets. He cites lack of time to care for them and his allergic reaction to fur as reasons for this decision.
* Matthew has Hashimoto's disease which struggles with low energy levels for an extended period.
	+ Additionally he experiences sleep problems that are worsened by tinnitus, which lead to an irregular sleep schedule that negatively impacts his ability to stream consistently.
* On January 5, 2020, Matthew held a charity stream to collect donations for the New South Wales Fire Service, which raised a total of $13,000 USD.
* With over 10,000 hours of play time on *GTA V*, Matthew has become very familiar with the story of Micheal, Franklin and Tevor. It is a common misconception that the game's main protagonist, Michael, went into witness protection and made a deal with the FIB to turn in his accomplices.
* During one of his No Damage runs, he was the victim of a cougar attack. In shock, he exclaims, "There aren't cougars in missions!"
* Matthew became a Twitch affiliate at the beginning of 2017, and gained partnership status later that year.
* In February 2020, Pongo1231 added a new feature to the mod, allowing Twitch viewers to control the effects by typing in chat.
* In October 2021, Matthew tried the new Rainbomizer mod by Parik27, which randomises various aspects of the game, from vehicles and sounds to missions and weapons. After completing the game using only the Rainbomizer mod, a season of Chaos with Rainbomizer began in January 2022.
* In January 2023, a new season of Chaos added a mirror effect, where the entire game is permanently flipped vertically. Like the previous season, it also featured random effects chosen by viewers and the Rainbomizer, although fewer aspects of the game were randomised.
* In pursuit of more money in GTA Online, and due to its solo playability, Matthew became interested in speedrunning the Cayo Perico Heist in GTA Online, and began learning the run in November 2022, with the first video released in early December. His current personal best for this speedrun is 19 minutes 34 seconds.
