Did you know that in UC Berkley there is a course called Starcraft Theory & Strategy? Well there is, and I had the same thought your probably having right now, "They don't mean the game Starcraft do they?", well yes they did there is actually a class like that with the following course description:
This course will go in-depth in the theory of how war is conducted within the confines of the game Starcraft. There will be lecture on various aspects of the game, from the viewpoint of pure theory to the more computational aspects of how exactly battles are conducted. Calculus and Differential Equations are highly recommended for full understanding of the course.
Furthermore, the class will take the theoretical into the practical world by analyzing games and replays to reinforce decision-making skills and advanced Starcraft theory.
As a prerequisite, students should be familiar with all units and some basic StarCraft strategy.
Additional lectures will be added throughout the Spring of 2009 as they are made available
Ahem, if you think you have something just as weird or as surprising to share, please do, and if your actually someone who takes that course then I hate you with every bone in my body.
