Picture of sandy

When Elaine first saw Guitar Hero, her eyes lit up and she became an overnight addict. She got the game over the holiday and when she came back from her break, the side of her first finger was totally numb. Many of us at meebo have enjoyed hours of continuous PlayStation2 playing of the popular game “Guitar Hero” (one and two!) and we wanted to help spread the fun.

meebo’s hosting its very own Guitar Hero night (we’ll supply the guitars) at the Stanford Coffee House (CoHo) this Thursday (Feb 8th) at 7pm on Stanford Campus (Tressider). Danny and Erich (our newest intern) plastered campus with 200 fliers so we’re hoping for a decent turn-out. We’ll be providing lots of food and prizes for participants, and we’d love to see you there (with resumes in hand =p).

The whole team will be there so come on down!

cheers!
sandy

    This is a great idea! Just be careful or you’ll end up in traction like me:

  2. jaikingtaro Says:

    does guitar hero need to use the guitar controller or the standard ps2 analog controller?

    nice~

    Hi
    I still praise the day I found meebo: it allows me to keep in touch with the world outside my boss’s Great Wall of Fire. Furthermore it presents me each morning with a little bloggie, telling me about life in sunny California, while the winter here in the Netherlands does not seem to be able to choose between sleet and snow, or just plain drizzle and fog.
    But what does annoy me, each morning over, is the fact that the hyperlinks in the blog items (as shown in my meebo IE window) are shown in pink? Mind you: I don’t have anything against pink: my 4 yr old daughter has everything in pink, from her princesses crown to her nightie, but to my eyes pink simply is not legible without banging my head against my flat screen. And we do favour function over form, don’t we?
    Anyway: how can I adjust the display style, to make hyperlinks just as legible as the rest ot the text?
    Still with best regards

    PS: could you please ask your reply validation script that rejected the html in my text, to please return my carefully typed text together with the error page? Same goes for your Regenerate New ID script …

  16. perze Says:

    So … when are you guys opening your east coast base of operations? Looks like the west is having all the fun.

  17. Perkin Says:

    You should play Frets on Fire, is a GPL clon of Guitar Hero but you can add your favourite songs.

    Really Good!

  18. Lynn Says:

    I wish yall were comin to my university to play! My boyfriend and I just bought new guitars last night!

  19. Luiz Gabriel Says:

    Sandy, in Brazil Guitar Hero also is a great success here and I became addicted myself when Nirvana and Guns in the second version heard. (I started for the end, but already I have the one and the two) Today when my life veterinary medicine leaves step some hours touching by vol. maximum of my TV. Somebody knows if is truth the new version based on years 80? A penalty I to live in Brazil and not to have as to dispute some departures with yours. Who knows one day in a version on-line? I hug; Luiz Gabriel.

  20. muffin Says:

    I love guitar hero. Can you have one of these events in soCal so I can join too?

  21. gary Says:

    hey guys, I think you should make your pop-up or pop-out boxes sticky. This way I could group them together when, as I do now, I have three boxes open and running. To make it unique you could have them seek eachother out, and crawl across the screen to stick together. The real plus would be that I could move them and minimize them at the same time if needed. Ok, love Meebo, love the commercial.
    peace,
    G

  22. Tim Says:

    you guys should try out dance dance revolution! :)

  23. danny Says:

    We’ll do dance dance revolution next. :)

  24. *e Says:

    I wish I could come to Stanford!! I beat both games on expert difficulty… We’re gonna be working on that hack to make the PS2 read out of its USB…oh I don’t know. Ask my boyfriend. :)

  25. ash Says:

    Well i think meebos really cool so… ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. Aida Says:

    I’m a guitar hero addict, but check out guitar hero 2 the songs are soooo much cooler. BTW I have never played a guitar before and never really into rock and roll, closest thing I ever got to rock or roll before guitar hero was Cold Play and a little Jack Johnson =)

    I’ll take on the whole meebo crew any day of the week. Lemme know if you guys ever decide to do internships (noobships) for budding network administrators

  28. doggy_pal Says:

    i liked guitar hero but the plot line is kind of weak! :) :( :) :( :) :(

  29. Andy Says:

    Our library does Guitar Hero every Monday after school. Usually get 20-30 teens/tweens. They also love meebo, since it lets them chat without having to make us load (and keep up-to-date) a variety of chat software on our 20+ public Internet stations.

  30. Razer Says:

    You guys rock.

    I’d be there if meebo was nearer to me. D:

    When GHII comes out for 360, if they allow you to download the first game’s songs, I’m getting a 360. But I’m lovin’ GHII on PS2.
    …Though I’ve been addicted to the Ratchet & Clank series recently. >_>

    Still, this is an awesome idea- have fun with it. :)

    Cheers,

  32. Hitmanhacker Says:

    Well im glad that there are more posts anyway i will become a regular poster plus u can download songs in the 360 version plus more guitars not only that a cooler guitar comes with it. any ways MEEBO you rock!

  33. Justin Says:

    Wow, that’s awesome.

    I’m still trying to beat Jordan on expert, although right now I only get up to about 55% and a hurt wrist. I’ve only been playing for 2 months too, got it for Christmas =P

  34. Hineimatov Says:

    Guys:
    Hpe you have a great time, from a Guitar Meebo Hero Freak in Mexico City…

  35. Lorena Says:

    I have beat both the first and second. Its not that good of a game. No. You need a guitar her o controller, which is a guitar-looking controller, basically. But, this game is NOTHING like playing an actual guitar. A real guitar is so much harder. :/

  36. bacon1352 Says:

    meebo is the best place so what the hell

  37. lucy99 Says:

  46. olivebranch Says:

    Hey guys, Installing a meebo widget on the Olivebranch Network so readers can leave me direct messages, however I would love to use the same meebo widget to pull in friends from yahoo & gmail- so they too can’t chat with the Olivebranch Networks’ readers.

    wondering if there is any chance you could build such a feature into the widget???

    email me, thanks a heap

  67. anthony hoang Says:

    Yeah.. Guitar hero is pretty fun, but it aint fun like the real thing. Even though it seems you can ACE a few songs. try playing on a “Real Guitar” :) . It feels very nice to play a real song or famous old school guitar songs…

    You guys are great… im lovin the whole Guitar Hero Fun… keep up the great work with meebo…

  72. Rondal Branigan Says:

    As a professional guitarist I find this guitar game to be stupid. Why don’t you all just leave guitar playing to people who REALLY play guitar. Go get a REAL guitar and learn how to play. You are not GUITAR HEROES, but a bunch of wanna-be HACKS! GET A LIFE!

  73. kristi Says:

    Guitar Hero absolutely ROCKS!! Once the sequel came out, I made sure to get it asap. wish I was near the CoHo :(

  74. dunkelfalke Says:

    i prefer to play a real guitar.

    niceeeee ; i played this before.

  87. Mike Says:

    This seems like a good idea. Personally, i hate guitar heros though, mostly because of the fact that it\\\’s a complete rip off of guitar freaks, which started coming out in the 1990s, but it\\\’s just not that good to me. The controllers i have used didn\\\’t seem so solid, compared to the GF ASCs (arcade style controllers) that you can get for the ps2. That aside, i\\\’d come and play anyway if i was closer to you.

    No need to reserve a place, you guys can play at the office etc.

    And oh, pre-registration are to prevent walk-ins and such…

  154. Debbie Says:

    saw the comment about numb finger from playing guitar hero. Played Hero III for two hours straight. Woke up next morning with numb index finger (Green Finger!!). Its been a week now and have tried to not play till it heals but it is hard to not play!! Any comments to how long this numb fiinger last!! Its really starting to get annoying….

  155. Real Guitarist Says:

    Granted it’s a GAME, but it’s pathetic when someone starts to think they are something specal when they are good at it. Playing this game does not mean you have any TALENT. This is just pretentious voyerism, a complete waste of time.

  156. les paul buy Says:

    That’s my Les Paul! It’s being played by Jeremy, Son Of Cory, the man who located my old guitar for me and helped me negotiate a deal to buy it back. Rock out, Jeremy!…
