Brawler Week: Brian Provinciano of Vblank Entertainment

I recently had a chance to sit down to do a short interview with Brian Provinciano of Vblank Entertainment. What I had intended to be a short interview that wouldn’t take up too much of his time turned out to be a great 30 minute conversation about his roots in the gaming industry, Retro City Rampage, and its predecessor, Grand Theftendo.

Give it a listen and see some of the highlights after the jump.
