Re: Bandersnatch on Netflix
I watched/played it over 2 separate sittings about 3 months apart. I was absolutely useless at Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid and this was the first time I'd come across this medium of story-telling/adventure since (I'm 36 now).

Re: What game have you COMPLETED this week
After much searing at the TV, sweating hands & a grimace held steadily on my face for about 20 minutes solid in the final parts of working out how to defeat him - I finally killed Dracula & the blue beast at the end of Castlevania 1 on my NES mini last Sunday night.
