In a world of Neat things, there is only joy. This week, we dive into some of the more amazingly violent alien franchises. Where we practice skills necessary for exploration of the cosmos. Rule 1: don't look directly into and alien biology that is egg shaped and opened when you got near. Rule 2: Burn it with fire, preferably from orbit.Natural Selection 2 - http://www.naturalselection2.com/Aliens movie - http://www.amazon.com/Aliens/dp/B001609SQAAliens vs Predator classic 2000 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/3730/Warhammer 40K universe - http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/home.jspFinal Liberation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_LiberationHosts:Devin Hunter - http://goo.gl/btHDLTyson Vanover - http://goo.gl/ugslPMusic Credits:Opening: "Speed Limit" by Sephfire - http://ocremix.org/artist/4587/sephfireClosing: "Track 1" from Warhammer 40K Final Liberation - http://www.holistic-design.com/Download: http://archive.org/download/NeatStuffPodcast-Episode22/Neat-Ep22.mp3

One must always be prepared for when the sky turns dark and the saucers begin to descend. Bullets mean nothing to beings who can bend the very fabric of space and time to their whim.
