Well we did have some report already of what happened at BG:

but it's always nice to have more :)
As for pictures, there is a consensus that Michael looks like an

Well those tasks would have to be done anyway, and those are usually not
really appealing to people, thus more likely to be left out.
And, adding command line support to the debugger is not interesting on
its own but is useful to remove dependency on GDB.
