I'm guessing you're curious about why so many movies, tv shows, and games reference this aren't you?
Alpha Centauri is probably one of the most important star systems in the galaxy to us because it's the closest, only a mere 4.3 light years away.(yeah real close! lol) Another thing that makes this star system so important is it sports a G2 star which is basicly a sun just like our own except the one in the Alpha Centauri system is bigger. People refer to this star as Alpha Centauri A, she has a little brother named Alpha Centauri B which is a K1 type star and they have one other sibling named Proxima Centauri which is just a red dwarf many say. It's because of this systems G2 type star many believe there may be planets that have oceans and other life producing elements. It's because of this that alot of scifi writers will always want to reference this star system so their work will have a small basis of truth and possibility to it.

"Damn, where the hell do you think these little big-headed grey dudes keep coming from?"
"It's obvious they are coming from somewhere close, probably Alpha Centauri."

When one person in a co-op game starts forcing other players in the co-op game to play in a certain way there-by defeating the purpose of a co-op game and ruining most of the fun. Typically related to but not limited to co-op board games, RPGs and co-op multiplayer video games.
Open discussion and suggestions on opportunities, efficient plays and actions are not considered alpha gaming. But making a decision for a player without being the actual player is considered alpha gaming.
An alpha gamer is different from a leader. A leader leads by example and is typically accepted as a leader by other players. An alpha gamer is trying to micro-manage all other players with overbearing (and often unwanted) advice. An alpha gamer ruins the fun of a game while a leader does not.

A free game produced by NASA to be downloaded and played from Steam. The objective of the game is to co-operate with your teamates and preform various tasks, such as repairing your base after a meteor storm.
However, this is pointless, due to the text-to-speech option, which will let everything you and others say be translated into text to speech. Thus, in mostly all of the lobbies, you will see people saying 'JOHN MADDEN' or 'AEIOU', and will not get the joke untill you turn text-to-speech on. When joining a server, there's an unspoken rule at least ONE person will be spamming 'AEIOU' or 'EBAY' in the monotone of stephen hawkings/microsoft sam.

The Generation Born between 2012 and an unknown end. Although some same Gen Alpha may end in 2025, although as of this definition, 2025 is not here yet so we can’t be 100% sure. This Generation grew up in the Late 2010s, Early 2020s, Mid 2020s, Late 2020s, Early 2030s, and Mid 2030s.
There is a Stereotype that Gen Alpha grew/is growing up with IPads and When their IPad is taken away they die or something like that, that is only partially true. While they did grow up in the technological Age, some of them didn’t actually have a Phone next to them the moment they are born.
Gen Alpha could be living in one of the most revolutionary times in Human History, or they could be living in one of the worst times in Human History, it really just depends how Stupid the Human Race Is.
