Before he jets off to his next convention (Fan Expo Philly: fanexpohq.com/fanexpophiladelp... ), Adam is hanging out and taking Tested member questions on ... anything! Hope to see you there!

0:00:00 Introduction
0:04:36 When you're recording in the Cave, do you have an external mic on your phone or are you just using the onboard mic? Any audio best-practices you've discovered while recording?
0:10:21 What is an early or modern film you would’ve loved to work on?
0:16:24 Would you be willing to share your current outlook on the grand mysteries of life? I can recall times in the past when you've been an outspoken religious skeptic, then later distanced yourself from that label because too many people were being jerks, and now more recently I've noticed you quoting people like Ram Das here in the livestreams. Are you getting more mystical as you get older? Cheers.
0:22:10 Several months ago you dressed as Cliff Booth for a costume party and you said you don't normally dress as villains, I was curious why you felt Cliff Booth was a villain in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? I just view him as a kind of anti hero.
0:25:22 I recently watched the Giant Nut and Bolt build again. Is that something you would like to revisit to once again test your machining skills or would you try a different form factor?
0:30:32 When you think back on makers in history, like Nikola Tesla, Ben Franklin and other historical makers, do any stand out as a bigger inspiration?
0:42:01 You mentioned you wouldn’t watch the movie, Prisoners, I assume because of the child endangerment plot line. Are there any important films you haven’t seen because of certain problematic themes?
0:44:07 What modern technology are you most excited to see evolve?
0:46:52 Have you ever had the desire to create cos-play from non-visual media (ie books, music, radio programs)? If so, who would you want to tackle and how you would go about bringing a character to life without visual references.
0:49:34 For the sake of time and your workflow is the idea of using the right tool for the job, something to not get hung up on? As long as you know the limitations of the tool. Example using pliers instead of an open-ended wrench.
0:52:58 I’m a big Blade Runner fan and I know this question is a real tough nut. In which Sci-Fi future we've seen do you thing we'll end up?
0:54:22 You receive lots of packages, and often comment on the quality of the packaging while unboxing (such as noting your appreciation for large zip lock bags), but I can’t recall if you’ve shared a broad overview of your packaging preferences. Thoughts on peanuts vs. bubble wrap vs. paper? Underutilized materials or techniques? Any pet peeves?
0:57:29 I don't know if you've covered this before, but I really need to know what to do with all my cut wood. After I'm done with a project, I have all kinds of leftover wood in all shapes and sizes. It gets very disorganized. Can you suggest a system?
