Hello Arthur, we met last year when you are nice enough to grant me a tour of Tt towers.

As you probably know I, alongside packattack04082 and Bricks to Life, recently discovered a cameo from everyone's favorite paranoid schizophrenic scientist in the Portal 2 story level of Dimensions. This makes me curious, what's your favorite Easter egg or secret that people may not know about that you've included in the games you've worked on?

As an AFOL myself, I happen to know that is not too uncommon for the Model Shop to commission small batches of parts in special colors (1x2 trans-clear jumpers come to mind, for example) although they cost a premium. I'm curious- how frequently would you say you guys have to order parts in special colors, and are there any other examples of parts which come to mind?

Actually, before I forget, I know that you guys use a piece of software called the "Easy Builder Tool" (EBT), but except for a little bit of footage, it is shrouded in mystery. Is it a Maya plugin, something different, what exactly is it?

About how many times in the average workweek do you blame Stephen Sharples for stuff going wrong?

Thanks for doing this AMA, I've been looking forward to it! Whilst I have no doubt that it varies, at what point in production do you usually receive a rough cut of films/scenes to score for? Also, if you remember and are allowed to say, what's the strangest score feedback or suggestions you've received during the production process?
