The rain poured down on July 8th 2012 in London, drenching the streets and the runners.  GEU-UK-Samantha Whale   This year’s British 10K London Run was particularly special because it also commemorated the 2012 London Olympics as well as Queen’s Jubilee.

Despite the rain, there were over 40,000 people participated in this charity run. GEU-UK, Samantha Whale took the opportunity and raise funds for charity organization, GamesAid. Initially

Perhaps you are tired of hearing another fruit fable about George Washington’s cherry tree, Newton’s apple or Peach Taro’s ghost-busting adventure. However, the next fruit related story we are about to tell you, you’re gonna love it! It’s about a Taiwanese orange moving onto the world, a heartfelt tale woven by dreams and fun!     Two Students’ Dream of Games   FullSoft, established in 1995 by Albert and his good friend, Lin, Huei-Yuan, was the studio-turned-company and the predecessor of Gamania.

The new private hospital in Villeneuve d’Ascq in northern France is a hospital like one you’ve never seen before. Who said a health institute had to be all solemn and impersonal?  On the contrary, this hospital was carefully designed for the patients to feel at ease in a relaxing environment. The project was led by Jean-Philippe Pargade, one of the top architects and urban planners in France. Besides inserting chic, modern elements into the building structure, it aims to improve the community’s medical quality. The hospital in Villeneuve d’Ascq covers an area renovated from uncultivated farmland in the new

  G!VOICE Introduces: “So this is what life is about! It is always years later when we realize what we were going through at a certain period of our lives. Over the years, we often look back and wonder about, or even regret, the decisions that we made. But who said life was easy in the first place? !  This philosophy applies to all of us. Even for Hsiao Yeh, who has been pondering over this for quite some time! Hsiao Yeh’s book, titled Things I Look Back On, is a reflection of his past 60 years, and is

From being tender and considerate in nature to having eyes as bright as the sunbeam, Gamanians all seem to have their own characteristics. Different environment or circumstances reveal different attitudes that Gamanians adopt to face and deal with things. Gamanians respect partners’ thinking, they adore games, they have the courage to tackle adverse situation and they are fearless in the face of challenge. Gamanians have many facets but they always approach things with playful hearts. Moreover, they enjoy the process of overcoming various tasks. If you were to describe Gamanians in one sentence, what would it be? G!VOICE invited

The clip starts with 2 parachuters landing in a line of fire in the jungle. They trek to a gloomy castle where they have to pay for a pass. . . .The fee can be either gold, cash, or gems. The troopers toss 2 coins, take off their gear, and enter into a fantasy world, where people from completely different eras gather at the bar. After doing a double take, hey! Aren’t these heroes from different games? Each hero rants out his or her code of honor, but for who? ? ? For who, exactly? ? ? Not for

▲（Source of picture：http://www.psdgraphics.com/backgrounds/bulls-eye-target） More and more people asked me recently, “For brand owners, what exactly is brand marketing in the digital age?” The traditional marketing relies on T.V, newspapers, magazines, radio broadcastings or outdoor billboards so if we get our heads around the features of these media, we could market everything with flying color. However, in these past few years, these old tricks don’t work the same magic anymore.  Due to the rise of social networks in recent years, from blog, YouTube, twitter to Facebook and Pinterest, new media appear in alarming rate. These new marketing tools have their

“The smell of a freshly printed book is the best smell in the world”                                                                                                              ─Karl Lagerfeld   Do you still remember the smell of a book?

（ Source of picture：http://www.casaoito.net/coca-cola-security-cameras） We tend to have preconceived images or stereotypes towards certain things, such as associating a tattooed person with drug use, a guy dyeing hair blonde as delinquent, a strong muscular man must be meat-lover, girls must love playing with dolls or guys will inevitably cheat etc. (please scrap the last one). Stereotypes are generally negative perceptions. What is your impression of surveillance/security camera? Monitoring, stalking, uncomfortable, violence-related, insecure…?  This Coca-Cola commercial from Latin America turned the usually negatively-associated-surveillance camera into a happiness catcher that capture every second of moving moment about bliss, love, peace and friendship.

Remember the 3.11 Earthquake in Japan 2 years ago? That was the first time the impact of such disasters really hit me by “witnessing” it with my own eyes. (A few colleagues and I hung around the TV all afternoon watching live broadcast. We were in awe of nature’s cruelty, and and the same time, impressed with how fast the Japanese new reporters were able to get there.) It was unreal, almost as if watching a movie. Before this, there has not been an occasion where the actual happening of a natural disaster is fed to viewers live. It

What kind of image would a liquor merchandise want to give its consumers? Heineken puts down its competitors by visualizing its slogan: “Refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach”; while Hennessy plays on being the favorite among hip and elegant yuppies. My encounter with Johnnie Walker, though, goes back to almost a decade ago...   It was the time when Harvey Keitel was the face of Johnnie Walker, the whole world recognized it as the famous drink from the “Keep Walking” campaign. In Taiwan it’s the same story. From the “KEEP WALKING Fund” project to the inspirational Tommy Chen
