Emile created his YouTube account in 2006, and began his career in 2008 with a Let's Play of EarthBound. For the next fifteen years, he made comprehensive walkthrough Let's Plays on various video games, the majority of which have been released on Nintendo platforms, including titles from the Mother, Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pikmin, Kirby, Pokémon and Xenoblade Chronicles video game franchises. Emile commentates in an informative manner in his videos with the purpose of guiding viewers to complete the game themselves. Emile's channel grew in popularity as his gameplay videos were often recommended on YouTube's suggestions. After more than two years of making Let's Plays, Emile became a YouTube Partner in 2010, and after becoming a Let’s Play creator on YouTube as a full-time job in 2013, he continued making Let's Plays for the following eleven years.

Alongside his own Let's Plays, Emile was one of the three founding members of the collab channel The Runaway Guys, alongside Johnathan Wheeler (Proton Jon) and Timothy Bishop (NintendoCapriSun), who did 46 Collab LPs and reached 487 thousand subscribers and 397 total video views as of 2023. As of February 2024, the group's main projects are on indefinite hiatus due to controversies surrounding Emile that made it impossible to move forward with him involved in any capacity; however, Jon has confirmed that Thrown Controllers and Colosseum will continue under different branding. In March 2024, Jon revealed that colosseum has been rebranded as Thrown Controllers Colosseum. In a reply to a tweet mentioning the core group being split, Jon said that Emile is working on himself, and encouraged Jon and Tim to move forward while that happened. Time will tell how everything shakes out, but Jon revealed that he's not as worried as he was at first. Emile also did collaborations with other Let's Players, including Stephen Georg and several Runaway Guys guest stars.

In 2024, Emile was accused of online sexual harassment by a YouTuber. This was followed by other allegations, including evidence of sexual online chat with a 15-year-old when he was 19. Following these allegations, both the Chuggaaconroy channel and the Runaway Guys went on an indefinite hiatus, with Emile staying with his girlfriend for a few months until the heat cools down. He wants to make a statement when he gets back, but that could be as much as a year from now.
