My favorite band is starting their new US tour this month, and I have been working on making a train in their honor. The music might not be for you, but this is about MY favorite band, and honestly when I got into this band, it changed my entire taste in music, and I say that as a very adamant music fan. Without further preamble, let’s welcome McGuffy’s return!

  • The train starts out with a jigidi. Its completion message is the first two characters of the SG code. I know some folks didn’t like doing the jigidis when I did a whole event about doing jigidis, so this is the ONLY jigidi in this train. Kinda. I think there’s a jigi in the cargo. I’ve also made it a bigger jigidi because honestly children and the faint of heart should not be listening to the music I’ll be sharing. “We’re adults here.”
  • Also, to that point, please don’t continue if you think you’ll be offended by the music. It’s other people’s art, and I promise you for some people this stuff is really meaningful. More than anything else, I’m trying to enjoy my good days, not give you bad ones– please don’t let me give you a bad day: just don’t opt-in if you’ll be offended.
  • Train ends the day before the tour starts.
  • Mea culpa: My keys were purchased directly from Fanatical or Humble, I have done my best to avoid any region locked keys, but if you win and it doesn’t work, please yadda yadda. Also this is just my second train and first time using the lock, so if the train gets broken, please help me fix it, though I’m sure this only applies to the first few users.
    Wow. So fun, I’ve really been looking forward to this and thinking it out. Hope you get the bug to hear more of something, and if you’re at a show, please say Hi!
    The moment of the return.

If I think of it, I’ll post it right here when there’s a day or two left. They’re all common enough, the only cat I’ve let out of the bag so far is my copy of Windowkill from last month’s Pantaloon is in there, as I had it from a bundle already, but I did aim to get some other games that I personally think are really good in there, while also trying to have some variety for different folks. Wouldn’t be worth it if you have a huge library with all the most common keys and don’t enjoy the journey.

Solved the jigidi, got the first 2 letters and... now what do I have to do?
Forget it, just being stupid after looking at puzzle pieces for too long :)

I made the puzzle and that part was confusing me for like the first hour of the jigidi 😂

I think I went through the whole train (excluding the hidden Jigidi for now).
The idea is quite cool, I also liked few songs, so thanks for recommendation :D.
I mostly just wanted to see what you have in store next, as games were generally not my style (although I joined one or two ;3).

The starting Jigidi (as much as I like those) is a bit too big for my taste, otherwise awesome job!

Thank you! Seems silly, but that's about the balance I'm aiming for, as that's about what I'm getting. from the community so far... wishing you a ton of luck and thank you for joining in!

Click show completion message in the right hand navigation menu — it should pop up automatically, but it’s easy to hide it quickly

Link doesn't seem to work. I spent an hour and a half doing the jigidi. Not cool.
EDIT: Ugh. Caps? Seriously? And then you lock the train behind another puzzle? After doing that jigidi? What the heck.

Not sure what you mean by "Caps", but everyone should make sure to put a / at the end of the link.

Knowing you a little from here, progressing further would probably have made you progressively more mad, so maybe it's for the best. ^^

This is really helpful! Re:Caps, the code for a GA link (5 digits) is always case sensitive… I figured most other people are more familiar with the site than I am TBH. The locks may actually not be case sensitive on lockee’s side, but the programmed answers are all lower case, which I believe is in the original post, so pretty sure caps is about the GA code

Re:Caps, the code for a GA link (5 digits) is always case sensitive

Yeah, I just didn't see any ambiguity with the case of the 5 digits, so I am not sure, what they're referencing.

The locks may actually not be case sensitive on lockee’s side

They definitely are, see my comment about brand names on one of your giveaways. ^^

the programmed answers are all lower case, which I believe is in the original post

I don't recall you posting anything about lower case anywhere before.

Omg… I THOUGHT about telling folks they’re lower case very hard, but apparently that didn’t actually make it into the original text… edited in the relevant part. May test and tweak the lockees later as well— their phrasing on case sensitivity is counterintuitive for me. Thank you for your help!

Did the jigidi, but I'm not keen to progress through guessing random words. I'm listening to my own music and don't really feel like switching it up. Perhaps another day, but likely not. Thanks anyways.

Congratulations live tour!
Since I'm Japanese, I didn't know the band you like, but I do enjoy this music genre too.
In any case, I'm really glad to see you happy.
This might be a little out of place, but I'd like to recommend a few similar songs as well:

Halford - Cyberworld
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons
Marilyn Manson - This Is The New Shit

To be honest, I can't really catch the lyrics, but I like songs like it

As a little extra

痛いの痛いの飛んでいけ / TOOBOE
INSANE - Black Gryph0n & Baasik

Oh my god, I can't lie, I'm here for the little extra. So, I don't know if this is interesting for you, but the first time I got to see Dance Gavin Dance live, just a couple years ago (because I'm old and take a long time to figure out what the cool kids like), the opening band was actually a Japanese band playing some of their first shows in the US. Have you ever heard of sIm? I guess they're a Japanese band most famous here for doing a song that was used in Attack on Titan. I'm pretty ignorant on the matter except they were absolutely fantastic live, making good in the suburbs of Washington DC :D

When I was watching the PV I thought "this looks like Attack on Titan," and it really was Attack on Titan.
I'm a bit of a cynic so I don't watch a lot of popular songs or anime, and I haven't seen Attack on Titan yet.
But the song was really good.
Thank you.

Cynics make the world go round! Trust me, I have no idea what Attack on Titan even really is.... for anime, I'm studio chizu or bust lately, I'll do anything if recommended by folks I admire, but I'm a bit too cynical to take many recommendations

That TOOBOE video has to be the greatest music video ever. So good.

And you can see Hazbin Hotel on Amazon Prime for more like INSANE.

Been a fan since Artificial Selection came out, I really like their older songs. I was super sad to discover Tilian is a weirdo.

Yeah, no kidding. I’m a more recent fan and that tour cancellation was meant to be the first time I saw them. I did see them once with Tilly, on his last tour the next year, but I’m happy with a non problematic/divisive singer now. Only loss is I wish Andrew had more time for Eidola

bump for mostly done. It was just a vibe listening to songs after the initial jigidi and taking it slow since I think I'm a fan now too.
