Revision as of 00:30, 23 July 2019

Evan Fong, also known as VanossGaming, is a popular YouTuber known for his exceptional editing skills and ironic humor.

His works include compilations of "funny moments" of Grand Theft Auto V, Garry's Mod, the Call of Duty series, and numerous other games. His videos mostly feature multiplayer sessions with his friends. 

Vanoss is currently the 13th most-subscribed and 32nd most-viewed channel on YouTube with over 600 videos uploaded thus far, as one of the fastest growing channels on YouTube. Evan has reached exceedingly high statistics when it comes to subscribers, view count, and monetization. 

Early Videos

Vanoss' earliest known video is Excited for MW3 & the Future - First Black- (cuts off here), it can be seen here.

After his days of Modern Warfare 3, he stopped using generic YouTube gaming intros. He began to use the rainbow thumbnail we know today. These videos have also had very good ratings and views, but the quality is amateurish compared to his current content.

Games

Black Ops II

After a bunch of uploads of MW3 and remixes, Vanoss released his first few Black Ops II gameplay videos; which consisted of a shotgun montages, remixes, pranks, and a variety of funny moments.

Vanoss then started a series of funny moments and remixes of Black Ops II with a total of over 80 videos. This caused his channel to grow at an immense rate for a period of time. His sudden accumulation of subscribers went from 200k and quickly rose to 2 million. To celebrate this unexpected milestone, Vanoss uploaded his Best Moments video

As of April 2017, most of his early Black Ops II videos have been taken down presumably due to Copyright Reasons.

After a four-year wait Vanoss uploaded new videos of Black Ops II, after it became available to play on the XBOX ONE, and starting on May 5, 2017 and has been uploading Gun Game, Ninja Defuses, and Hiding Tactics.

Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V, with 130 videos, is one of his most popular series. Two days after the North American release of GTA V, he uploaded six GTA V Single Player Funny Moments Video, before eventually uploading GTA 5 Online Funny Moments Gameplay - Invisible Glitch, Monkey Masks, Jet Fun, Cars (Multiplayer) his first GTA V Online Funny Moments.

It received critical acclaim with very high ratings and positive comments. This series also drastically increased Vanoss' popularity by increasing his subscriber/view count.

Garry's Mod

A series he started in which he combined with Black Ops II and GTA V. He makes videos of Sandbox, Hide and Seek, Prop Hunt, Death Run, Guess Who and Scary Maps with his friends, but in the beginning was less popular than GTA; over time, the series gained a lot more of attention, due to Vanoss uploading it more often than GTA V.

Originally he used a giant Luigi character but later on, like his friends, he uses his GTA V player model in either casual or the Night Owl outfit. Although in his very early Garry's Mod videos, before using the Luigi character model, Vanoss would use either the Iron Man or Batman character model, though mostly the latter than the former.

In 2016, he has two new player models which a modified version of his GTA V character that includes his channel's logo.

Paranormal Action Squad

A YouTube Red animated series he starred in alongside with fellow YouTubers Mr. Sark (Eddie) and SeaNanners (Paul) where he plays as himself. In many episodes, his goal is to become a member of the team to stop the paranormal activities due to being fired by all of his other jobs, but is constantly rejected by them due to not being reckless and unprepared.

Rynx

In mid-2017, Vanoss started putting links in his descriptions telling his viewers to click if they "wanted to be early." Upon clicking the link, it would take the viewer to an Instagram page by the name of "rynxmanjones." The first picture he posted said that this new account would be his more personal account and where he would share his music. The caption for that photo has since been edited. On August 25, 2017, he released his first piece of music: A remix of "U-RITE" by THEY. On December 9, 2017 he released his first official single "Want You" featuring Miranda Glory. On May 3, 2018 he produced the song "Motion" by newcomers music duo Emotional Oranges. On June 20, 2018 Rynx made "I'm Alright" featuring Jimi Ono. On August 15, 2018 Rynx uploaded his remixed version Alison Wonderland's "Cry".

He plays four songs in his videos as his outro music. It can be heard in its entirety on his SoundCloud page; RynxMusic.
