Zyphon

Raymond, better known online as Zyphon, formerly Cardude2001 and CartoonAddict, is an American YouTuber that makes commentary videos.

Beginnings
Zyphon's earliest videos date back to 2008, though it appears that the channel actually belonged to Raymond's father. Over the next year, it seems that Raymond gained more control over the channel until it became his.

Zyphon (Cardude2001 at the time) posted videos about online games such as Club Penguin and Roblox. As time when on, the channel progressed from videos recorded via handheld camera to videos recorded using a screen recorder.

During this time, Zyphon created series such as "Woow Adventures" and "Club Penguin Randomness".

Second Stage
In the second half of 2013, Zyphon transitioned into a full-fledged Minecraft channel. After some time, Zyphon began to upload from other games again, posting videos from Club Penguin and Tank Trouble. He also posted some animations created in Microsoft Paint.

It was during this time when the channel changed names from Cardude2001 to CartoonAddict. Zyphon says that he changed his username because he didn't like having a year attached to it; he chose CartoonAddict because he enjoyed creating Microsoft Paint animations.

Cutting Back
On July 8th, 2014, Zyphon (then CartoonAddict) announced that he would be cutting back on his frequency of videos. Zyphon chose to put more of his time towards school and would scarcely post videos. One video he posted was his middle school valedictorian speech.

In August of 2016, Zyphon started to make videos about the TV show Steven Universe; however, by the end of the year, he started to make Minecraft videos again. In July of 2017, he made a series of Clash Royale videos.

Switch to Commentary
After his fifth Clash Royale video, Zyphon transitioned into becoming a commentary channel. From then on out, Zyphon's videos focused on various topics. He would also post videos of remixes and original music he wrote.

In April of 2018, CartoonAddict switched his username to Zyphon.

Zyphon kept posting videos until January of 2019. At this point, the channel entered a haitus.

The Return
After almost half a year of haitus, Zyphon returned posting Minecraft videos again. In his "School WiFi Rant" video, he briefly explains that he focused on schoolwork leading up to his graduation.
