Vincent Caravella is one of the original members of Giant Bomb. He served as the sites lead video producer and host of the Giant Beastcast until his departure in 2021.
I'm not sure if Vinny really warrants his own page. Yeah, I think the guy's awesome, but GB rules state that somebody needs to have been credited in a game in order to qualify for a page. According to his page he's credited in the iPhone game RockinRoll, but that seems pretty dubious and seeing as I don't own an iPhone I can't vouch for this. Any chance somebody else could confirm or deny this?
EDIT: I've done some digging around and the only name I can find connected with RockinRoll is a guy named Chris Sokol. I'm pretty sure Vinny had nothing to do with this game and isn't credited in it, so I'm going to put in a request to delete this page.
His page says that he created the colourblind textures for the game but I don't know if there's any way to verify that (besides asking him). There's a question page on the official RockinRoll site so I've asked there.
The rule is that people have to be credited, right?
I've personally actually fixed things that specifically showed up in retail products. That is, when you got the box on the shelf, there might be 0.0001% of the game that's fixed only because of me. You're welcome.
@Diamond: The problem is that a lot of iPhone games lack a formally structured credits section. It seems that in this case, we know he contributed a reasonable amount to the game, so it seems fair to give him a page on Giant Bomb. That's the way I look at it anyway. It seems logical.
Hi. I'm Chris, the primary developer of RockinRoll. Vinny (this Vinny, yes) did do the color blind textures for the game. He's also credited within the game itself, as you can see in this shot: http://rockinroll.slbsoftware.com/vc.png.
Ha, you guys are good! I like the diligence. Here's a screen cap of the game credits in case you guys were still curious. I was really happy to try and add a little love for the colorblind folks out there and help Chris anyway I can, he is a great guy.

BAM! So we can lock this thread now...or should we continue to talk about how awesome Vinny is?!

With this on hand. Need we say more? Thanks Vinny.
