Nerd Alert!

UC Berkeley offering is StarCraft course for Spring 2009. I imagine that this is one of the most interesting classes ever. I like how video games are becoming more and more important and even respected in society. StarCraft is one of the most widely played and widely respected games ever. It is a computer based role playing strategy game where you are comanding troops and have a set of objective to fufill.The game is pretty amazing and pretty seriously addicting.
