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.

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. You're in for either the biggest adventure of your life, or you're soon to become alien food.

We welcome our new robot overloads, for they are logical and will totally not kill us all. We just gotta make sure that there are no errors or memory overflows that accidentally overwrite the "kill all humans" Boolean. Though I wonder why they would need that variable in the positronic neural system.
