Thats what the course is called, I attend the University of Minnesota (or actually attened...I just got back from graduation ceremonieis), and this course is pretty well know among most of us in the tech majors. This course is insanely popular...and it isn't offered every semester. It is actually less a course, than it is a seminar. A freshman seminar, no less. So I personally didn't get a chance to take it...but I wish I did.
From what I understand this course is incredibly fun, especially for those of us who found physics to be slightly dry freshman year
In any case, yes, this course exists. And yes, it is indeed very popular with the students (like that would be hard to guess).

Did you even play the game? Or did you read about it and assume things that aren't true?
I played it, it is very fun in gameplay (true to form with Rare), but above that it has some of the most subtle (read: mature) humor I've ever seen in a video game. Yes, some of it is gross-out humor, but there is more to it than that. Play through the damn game and tell me it isn't hilarious in a way that 6-12 year old could not get.
Actually, Square has been doing everything they can to get into the GBA's pants (who wouldn't be?).
Mr. Yamauchi is going to (maybe) retire after he sees the after the Gamecube launch near the end of this year.
I would have probably voted for Bush, but instead I voted for Nader...why? Mostly because of the Democratic cutback in the space program, which I think is necessary for the advancement of the human race.
But the bottom line is neither of those two idiots *deserved* my vote. I may not have agreed with Nader, hell I agreed with roughly 50% of his platform, but the fact of the matter is that I can trust Nader.
Nader has built a career out of doing what was best for the country...unlike the main parties (which are so corrupt now that it sickens me) Nader would not do something out of greed or political ambition, but simply because he would feel it'd be the right thing to do.
Listen to Michael Moore's speech on why he was voting Nader and maybe you might get an inkling of this type of reasoning.
My state (Minnesota) voted for Gore anyway, and do I care? Not really...neither of the two main parties are going to make any real changes. Why would they? They have the country right where they want it, why would they want to shake it up and allow some real progress to happen if it might cost them control in the form of third party support?
Nothing will change regardless of the victor. Gore is an obvious liar and Bush is basically an incompentant.
Supreme court nominations do worry me a bit, I'm republican in a lot of the issues but on civil liberties I'm progressive. However, more goes into putting someone on the Supreme Court than nominations (hence *nominations*), and even though the GOP has a slight majority in the House and Senate, the country will likely be ruled by moderates in that particular branch.
Nader deserved my vote...and he deserved yours too, he has simply done too much for this country to be thrown away as some sort of spoiler...like Nader said "You can't spoil a system thats already spoiled to the core."
I'm proud of the way I voted, and I wish people wouldn't make judgement calls on something that I felt was the correct choice...weren't liberals supposed to be tolerant of other people's beliefs...to quote Eddie Vedder "The donkies are looking a lot like elephants this year."

...except Nintendo.
They make money (and continue to make money) on the actual consoles, even with the Gamecube being a miniscule $150-200.
As an aside...where are the PS2s? How long has it been since launch? I can't even see the glorified DVD player in stores yet.
