Get A Quake Degree

Maarten mentioned this in the morning but apparently 50 of you who emailed it in didnt see it. :) It looks like all your prayers as a gamer have been answered. According to this article study of gaming in college courses just may become a reality. Check out 'How about a B.A. in Quake?' on Excite.(Thanks MaxFPS and Geoff Day among others)

Games' impact on society As a gesture of support for the UC program, game-maker Alias/Wavefront has donated $1 million in software. Alias founder Mark Sylvester said he chose to make the donation because it's important to begin studying gaming and its impact on society. "With the students being exposed to these ideas, they're thinking about this as a whole experience," Sylvester said.
