    I'm pretty sure Drew is the only non-ex-gamespot guy at Giant Bomb.

    He was a video intern, but beyond that: no clue.

    If I remember correctly, didn't Carrie Gouskos recommended Vinny to GameSpot in the first place?

    They were driving home one foggy night and hit him going around 80 clicks, so they wrapped him up in a carpet and put him in the trunk but on the way to dump him in a river they noticed he was still alive.

    I'm pretty sure there were some old hotspots saying that he was but a user on GameSpot, who sent in an application and some reader reviews and BOOM, became the Vincent Caravella Video Editor Extraordinaire!

    I heard some of the old hotspots, and I think Vinny said he became a video editor/producer for Gamespot because of Carrie Gouskos. Vinny had been a long time Gamespot user, and at the time, I think the site needed a video editor. Carrie asked Vinny if he wanted the job, and boom, he became the man you all know today...I guess.

    Yeah, he was just a tech guy, not a reviewer or anything.

    I believe he responded to a craigslist advert for a video intern. I'm not 100% sure though.

    Not gamespot specifically, but cnet in general - yeah. Virtually all the whiskey staff come from cnet - except for the recent additions to the team. That's how Jeff knew them all, and started working on Giant Bomb with them.
