Ah, Monday. The bane of lasagna-loving cats worldwide.

As we settle into the new week with a fresh chatty, I have a quick story you may find entertaining, in that self-deprecating kind of way. See, I've never beat Duke Nukem 3D. So I've been trying to fix that, care of the recent Xbox Live Arcade re-release.

Well, last night I played a few levels before bed. But after I went to sleep, something weird happened: I dreamt about Duke Nukem 3D. And not just regular dreams. Nightmares, of relentless assaults by Pig Cops and Octobrains, of sinking subs.

The moral? I don't know. Never play Duke Nukem 3D before bed, I guess.
