Asterix and the Great Crossing: Latin Jokes Explained




A bigger, better version of this article now appears on my new Asterix site - click the white link just above this article. The one that says 'Everything Asterix'.

I understand it's annoying to be directed here and have to go there, but I promise it's worth it.

The new site is extremely beautiful, by the way. It's probably going to win an award and be preserved by UNESCO.

The difference between this cramped, stuffy blog and that luxury site is the same as when you sell your one-bedroom flat in London and buy a six-bedroom villa anywhere else in the country. The furniture is better, the air is clearer, and you can stroll around your garden smelling flowers and sighing contentedly.

I have made another game! Wow!

It's called 'Arsene's Window' and is subtitled 'The Arsene Wenger Transfer Window Simulator.'

Can you do better than the real Wenger? Find out!

Being Cecile Meier

I have created a piece of interactive fiction. It was partly inspired by the movie Being John Malkovich. So far, three people have played it. Here are the reviews:

Male #1: This is amazing. I want to make one of my own. How did you do it?
Male #2: It's very good. I enjoyed it, and learned a lot about the benefits of crab.
Female #1: I laughed a lot, but it's so weird. Why are you so weird? Did you spend the whole day doing this?

You can play the game by clicking on this link:

It's quick and fun. (It's playable on a mobile but on my phone the text was a bit small, so better to play it on a laptop.) Let me know what you think of it in the comments below.
