Hmm....interesting....

 

[Theslowone]

[isasir]

Silly me, I took C++ instead in college.

 

[swai]

sounds coo but stupid at the same time
i mean who really needs a class (that also has a $99 fee) to learn how to play a freakin computer game?

[wnied]

Why couldnt they have a Class on a good LAN game, say like Diablo2 or EverQuest???

Well, that explains a lot about our education system.

Seriously, that's a non-credit course though right!? :Q Like...people don't actually get college credits for it...right?! :Q

 

[damien6]

and they give CREDITS for that????!!?? If this is the gimmick they're using now a days to help increase college enrollments, how far are they willing to go? Will they give credits for those of us who already have " life experience in this particular field"?


On job interview:
"Even though, I only have four years Masters degree in StarCraft but I do hold doctorate degrees in Quake3Arena, Unreal Tournament and numerous others just to name a few. I feel confident that I could single handedly replace your whole IT department and improve the performances of you WAN network/servers/workstations to increase the employee's work throughout put while substantially lowering the company's operating cost. So in reality you'll be saving astonomically by paying me the paltry sum of 1.5 million dollars salary not including the benefits and bonuses of course. Did I mentioned that I'm a ardOCPer and a long time Anandtech member with gazillion post status? I would appreciate a quick response due to numerous offers currently on the table from other companies which I'm presently entertaining. They had better stock options but I can see the potential that this company has in the future with a little push from yours truly."

but yes to ease any bad thoughts, this is a non-credit course also listed is like introduction to excel, refinishing furniture, etc. all continuing education classes. you probably just get local credit for it. like here i had to have 1 local credit for an associates, but it didnt transfer anywhere (it was learning to use the library, w00pty-f'ing-do).

 

[VTBigBear]

OMFG

damn i wish VaTech had this class..
might be the only one i could get an A in... hehe

 

[ShotgunSteven]

I should be teaching that class.

 

[prodigy]

Hahahah that's my kinda class.

 

[TheDingo]

No offense, but you have to be the biggest loser in the world to take that class. Not only are you paying $100 for a no credit class about a computer game, you are spending your friday nights paying $100 for a no credit class about a computer game.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

yeah but think in 10 years you'll be able to look back talking to your buds and say "hey, i took starcraft back in college" 1337 indeed.
