Hey, all. Remember when EmP, our much-beloved resident cynic, made the Alpha Marathon as a way to encourage everyone to review a game starting with every letter of the alphabet throughout the course of the year? Remember when he won twice in a row, only to be throttled in the event's third year of history? Humiliated, EmP dropped off the face of the Earth never to continue the topic again. Or maybe the discontinuation of the trial simply had to do with increasing lack of interest in the community and otherwise busyness in life on part of the creator to continue. Either way, I'm bringing it back for another shot.

It would be good for me to write some reviews. I've had to put aside my fiction writing to get my school work done, finishing editing this war memoir, and finalize a major film deal (fingers crossed). So if I can fit in some reviews it'd be a good release for me. This would be about two a month, so... Aw, heck, why not? As long as I can count my Mass Effect review.

I might as well try. Here's my record for the year...

Might as well. I can't say I'll go out of my way to complete this but let's see how many I can knock out. (Not many for the foreseeable future, as the two games I'm slated to review this month are already duplicates.)

Oh ho! And who was it that throttled EmP that year? Who was it? That's right, yours truly! I abstained from doing this last year, but I think I'll try a hand at it again this year. I'm off to an okay start so far...

I currently have 12. I also have four that begin with the letter "S" and two with "D".

FOR THE RECORD: I won this thing three times. Three! I've completed it twice, and it's also been completed only by previous winner, Joe, and sneaky efforts by Suskie and Schultz. I miss Schultz; someone track him down.

I think EmP, Suskie and I are tied now. Oh, it's going to be a battle royale!

I updated the leaderboard for everyone. If I made any counting errors (going from 5 to 6 can be rough for me), let me know!

As promised, thrown an update up. Numbers tallied, and so forth. Think Joe's impressive Halloween run has thrown him waaaaay up front.

Congrats go to Joe for another fine win. He wasn't able to complete the course, though, so let's not give him too many props. Perhaps a polite golf clap and no direct eye contact.

Downplay it all you want, but I'm not going to be modest.
