alpha centauri

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.

alpha gaming

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.
We were having fun playing that co-op game until Alex started alpha gaming.
