Sup lads,

I know it's been somewhat quiet on the commentary front in the past period, but that's mostly because we're really busy preparing for stuff that's coming up later this year. In the meantime though I need your help.

For those that havn't seen it yet. I'm partaking in the "Alienware Challenge" a Dell sponsored event that essentially means that I have to travel through Europe and blog about it.

Now here's the fun bit. There's three other contestants that do exactly the same thing. Each week, there's a vote of who wins the challenge that is associated with that week.

Now, here's what I want you to do. I need your support in this, a small reward for all those thousands of hours of commentary that my fellow casters and I have given you over the past three years.

So how can you do it? Be following these simple instructions;

1. Go to the following page; http://alienwarechallenge.com/news/VOTE_NOW__WEEK_7-39.html
2. Vote for "Matthijs" (That's A_Spec)
3. Vote again, and get your friends, family, co-workers, random people on the street, stuffed toys, whoever you can thing off.
4. Repeat step 3.
5. Vote each week. I will continue to update this post as we go forward into the event. (the voting week changes weekly)

That's all I ask of you. Simple enough isn't it. Thank you for voting me and your continued support.

"The Alienware Backpacking Challenge sees four gamers enjoy the opportunity of a lifetime, travelling all over the continent, blogging their way over mountains and seas, crossing borders and time zones, trying to prove just how talented they are.

Kitted out with an Alienware M11x laptop, a video camera, and a set of camping equipment, the four lucky participants will spend eight weeks blogging their way through Europe, competing regular challenges before going up against each other in a weekly public vote."

Follow Alasdair, Ben, Livia, and our very own Matt as they race for a chance at a $5,000 prize.

Here at QuadV we wish them all the very best of luck (but really, Go Matt! :) )
