Starcraft Lecture
On a slight tangent from the last piece:
A friend of mine on Facebook reminded me about Berkeley’s course on Starcraft and Game Theory. I tracked down this video of their first lecture. They all seem to be having a lot of fun.
This is probably of most interest to nerds who enjoy Game Theory experiments (like me!). But it’s an interesting interpretation of a strategy game, and the information they are deriving or modelling with it seems to have very little to do with narrative or story. Compare and contrast with MIT’s approach.
On a completely different topic – doesn’t that guy look too young to be a teacher? Must be a PhD student.

I’m pretty sure he is – if you go wandering around on the net you can find the course notes/webct style thing for the entire course…
