I was recently invited to the University of Trondheim, in Trondheim, Norway, to give a 20 minute speech on the cultural impact and importance of StarCraft. Of course, being a lesser-known caster, I was very flattered to be chosen for this task. They selected me because I have fans there, and my sense of humor fit the casual tone of the event well. I have the videos of my speech and the following Q&A session up on my YouTube channel, and I would love to share these videos with the community.

I hope I contributed in some way to the StarCraft community's history, and I hope I did the fans proud. Enjoy.

(PS: The other guest is Sal Lizard, president of the largest Star Trek fan club. Star Trek was the other theme of the evening, with the over-arching theme of sci-fi's cultural impact.)

wtf how come I didn't hear of this! I live in trondheim and attend the university!

seems like someone high up in the student body council or whatever is very positive towards starcraft though, I once played a showmatch hosted by them and I was also interviewed by the student newspaper and radio channel.

that was in like 2005 or something, glad they're still at it.

Great talk! Surprised there isn't more notice for this (poor TL favoritism).

What do you study?

I also missed this

There are MANY people attending NTNU that love SC2 though, wherever I go I find SC2 fans.

The minute someone makes a SC2 club or LAN party in Trondheim they're going to be suprised to the massive response they'll get! Atleast that's my dream!

MLG-parties and such would have been awesome! Or just meeting up with a bunch of norwegians talking / playing SC!
