It seems that they decided The Westerner was deserving of the award for best dialogue, based on the English language version of the game. As …
I’ve not spent a great deal of time sitting at the computer this weekend, which may be a good thing – it’s always good to take a break, however short it might be. I spent most of the weekend fixing a fence in the garden, which had blown down in the storms we had a …
