Man I came into class thinking this was going to be a place to just talk about starcraft, but this is so much more than that. Nimue has clearly put an incredible amount of time and effort into this. First class was just incredible and inspiring. I'm so happy to find a someone who shares not only the great gaming aspects of starcraft, but also the deep philosophical and psychological aspects of competitive gaming in general.

HERE'S TO NIMUE AND AN INCREDIBLY AWESOME UPCOMING SEMESTER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This class took me by complete surprise by the fact that prima facie one would expect this to be a laid back excuse to play starcraft. yet it was the complete opposite. It was comprehensive in the philosophical, analytical, and pure gaming aspect of it. Looking forward to the rest. Nimue and others really put a lot of effort into this one.

Great first class everyone, i'm really happy about the huge turnout. Even though the class can only allow 62 people (for credits), we hope to see as many as the first day (something like 100+) of you from the starcraft community come and continue auditing the class.

You know, I just realized this today about this and I was pretty surprised about a class about Starcraft.... if I wasn't stuck on east coast in college in D.C., I would definitely attend to this class.....

now now, I know this class is real giving by the information I read and all but then again, I found this site stating it's a hoax....

http://www.counterfeitculture.com/index.php/online-gaming/university-of-california-at-berkeley-starcraft-course-is-a-hoax/

after reading that... I question myself once again..... what do you guys think? I personally don't think it's a hoax and a real class especially when all the comments here but that site did list a few points....
