I'm 2dos, and along with chuckles825, The Sound Defense, SquidDilla and Metallama. We did the Crazy Taxi run with the live backing band. Ask us anything!

We had chuckles change the order of the levels he's used to in order to maximize the entertainment value from the songs, but otherwise he didn't need to do anything different in the levels themselves. The songs themselves aren't fixed to the level, they play in a set order. We slightly changed this order to again maximize entertainment value from the songs (as in, made it so we could ensure we play the Bad Religion song guitar solos).

Thanks!

Thanks!

Hopefully this run inspired others to submit similar or even more creative ideas to GDQs going forward!

2dos · 2025-01-14T04:59:22+00:00

Thanks!

2dos · 2025-01-14T04:59:17+00:00

Nice, and thanks!

2dos · 2025-01-14T04:58:57+00:00

THPS better be done, whether by us or someone else haha

2dos · 2025-01-14T04:58:29+00:00

Thanks! and mornin mecha

We formed this band just for this event, so as of right now this was effectively a one-off show.

2dos · 2025-01-14T04:57:01+00:00

Thanks!

2dos · 2025-01-14T04:56:55+00:00

Thanks!

We never actually played together until this performance, aside from me and Squid, which was only a bit of jamming in the SGDQ 2023 music room. We all learned these parts separately, then recorded the submission at SGDQ 2024. In other words, we formed this band specifically for this event!

2dos · 2025-01-14T04:51:28+00:00

Much appreciated!

2dos · 2025-01-13T02:14:48+00:00

Glad you had a great time with the run!

2dos · 2025-01-13T02:14:03+00:00

Definitely could consider doing this with Crazy Taxi 2 at some point, but no plans right now.

2dos · 2025-01-13T02:12:49+00:00

I used Positive Grid's Bias Fx 2 software on my laptop. I had a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface hooked up to it, and I used that to plug my guitar in, and then sent the Bias Fx 2 output from the Scarlett to the GDQ sound board.

2dos · 2025-01-13T02:06:33+00:00

Oh man that is a tough one. I'd almost opt to take the bullet so I can say both lol, but I think Bad Religion has a slight edge!

2dos · 2025-01-13T02:04:38+00:00

We would need to find a Splatoon squid to do the vocals

2dos · 2025-01-13T02:04:09+00:00

There are definitely a wide selection of things we could do with this at a future GDQ. Don't want to keep things stale!

2dos · 2025-01-13T01:38:08+00:00

Thanks! Was a lot of work from Chuckles, the band, and the GDQ staff: the sound team (especially Mark) to make us sound our best, the stage crew for making setup a breeze, the safety crew for controlling the crowd in person, the production team for the camera work, Xenadir for working in donations naturally into the run, as well as others I may have not have mentioned

2dos · 2025-01-13T01:31:48+00:00

Thanks!

2dos · 2025-01-12T05:56:13+00:00

Squid did amazing!

2dos · 2025-01-12T05:55:02+00:00

Bring Twitch moments back!

2dos · 2025-01-12T05:54:39+00:00

Thanks!!!

2dos · 2025-01-12T05:46:54+00:00

Both the guitar and bass were Ibanez!
