| VALVE’s latest zombie-themed game breathes new life into an otherwise dead genre.
By Michael Lum To be fair, zombie-themed games have been around for ages, and video game developer VALVE did nothing much to popularise the genre. That credit should go to CAPCOM’s best-selling video game, Resident Evil, which is arguably the most respected series in the realm of zombie-themed games. After all, nothing can be more fun than torching a zombie to kingdom come with a flamethrower, a promise that Resident Evil has never failed to deliver. So just what’s so special about VALVE’s latest video shooter game, Left 4 Dead, which has reviewers and gamers singing its praises? Dynamic Artificial Intelligence (AI) Oddly enough, it was the game’s unpredictable situations generated by a powerful and yet mysterious in-game mechanism which gained significant attention. Aptly known as The Director, it controls every aspect of the game like the difficulty level, visual effects and locations of spawn points and items, based on every single action the player makes. VALVE developer Gabe Newell explained in a recent magazine interview that the goal of The Director is to make the game more cinematic and unpredictable, thereby increasing replay value. “The events are trying to give [the players] a sense of narrative,” he explains. “We look at sequences of events and try to take what their actions are to generate new sequences.” “This is what makes procedural narrative more of a story-telling device than a simple difficulty mechanism.” With the zombies’ role as pivotal characters to the game, most of the hard work was naturally reserved for the undeads to ensure that they looked as realistic as possible. The need for realism ran down to the zombies’ movement and facial expressions, as mentioned by developers Matt Campbell and Phil Robb, who explained why such efforts were made. “We treat the infected horde as a major character, and spent a lot of time in making their movements believable,” said Phill Robb, revealing that the animation for the zombies were motion-captured by a stuntman and integrated into the game’s engine, allowing for greater realism instead of relying on simple ragdoll physics. In addition, the zombies also boast some of the most advanced AI ever seen in such games, where they are usually depicted as mindless, bloodthirsty scum. “We spent a great deal of time on the AI systems for the common horde,” said developer Matt Campbell, elaborating that extra effort spent was to ensure that there would be no safe spots for players to hide where an Infected could not access, a problem which is common in other zombie-themed shooter games. The idea was to force passive players out of their comfort zones and into the carnage where they should be. Unique gameplay While The Director may have been revolutionary from the technical standpoint, it was the team-centric gameplay and the option to play as predators which made the difference for fans. Unlike most zombie-themed games that only allow players to play the hero, or in certain cases, as the human villain manipulating the story from behind the scenes, Left 4 Dead allows four additional players to control four of the five zombie bosses in the game, albeit only in the game’s versus mode. While the zombie players are not able to use weapons, each playable zombie boss has his own unique attack which is implemented in a way to ensure that the game remains balanced. In addition, players rotate between the human survivors and the zombie bosses once every chapter. Final-year National University of Singapore student Matthias Mar, 22, who listed Left 4 Dead as one of his favourite games, thinks that it was these aspects that sealed the deal. “You help each other out, like reviving teammates and stuff, things that don’t appear at all in other games,” he says. “That’s the social aspect of the game.” As for playing as the zombies, he was a little more candid. “I prefer to kill them actually!” he jokes. “But it’s exciting to play as something different once in awhile.” Sounds good enough for us. And now, if you’ll excuse us, we will be off to appreciate the unique features of Left 4 Dead in typical hype fashion: by torching the Infected till extra-crispy. |
So VALVE has announced a sequel to the L4D game, that is to be titled, well, Left 4 Dead 2. That would probably stink if you already own the first game, since it is barely a year old and instead of providing more downloadable content, out comes VALVE with the easy way.
Still, there are new features to look forward to in L4D 2 like: - An all new cast of survivors with the likes of a conman, a reporter, a mechanic and a football coach. - Better rewards like more ammo and health power-ups for taking risks like choosing a longer and more dangerous path to your destination. - Melee weapons like an axe for chopping zombies up, a frying pan (which even sounds like one when it connects with a zombie’s head), and the good ‘ol chainsaw. - Brand new Infected, like zombies donning fireproof suits, the Wandering Witch (don’t worry because the old wailing Witch will still be around) and a brand new Special Infected, the Charger. |

Unless you make a turn out of the small exit of The Cathay, and walk past a carpark entrance, you’ll miss The Luxe, a newly built condominium. It would be hard to fault you, as the 2-storey building doesn’t seem to draw people, except in one shop – 1 Caramel, which was set up by the owners of One Rochester and 1 TwentySix and officially opened on July 1.
It was a little surreal, as the brightly-lit cafe not only held the only people in the building, they all looked uniformly happy. Not willing to pass up a chance for that kind of joy, UrbanWire also looked for a table to sit at.
Though only the 30 outdoor seats were available then, because all 30 indoor seats were already taken, the cool and gentle breeze made them no less welcoming an option. Settling down on a cushioned white chair, we were soon approached by a waiter carrying 2 menus. He helped us place 5 items on the order chit based on the most recommended and popular foods at the café.
The drinks were the first to arrive, and they made such an impression in their hourglass-shaped tableware that our curiosity over the cakes built up quickly.
The Café Latte ($5) was milky with a strong aroma, and the froth came in a nice amount. You may rank it somewhere in between The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s café latte and The Coffee Connoisseur café latte, The mixed white and brown sugar cubes came surprisingly in a single small porcelain cup which complemented the overall presentation well.
Tropical Blend ($8), a mix of pineapple, mango and passion fruit had a refreshing colour and taste to it, and would have been perfect if not for the hint of artificial sweetener, which would be missing if the blend was 100% fruit. Although the blend was slightly gooey because of all the fruits, it still had a smooth texture. Overall, the frappe was not too sweet and all the 3 fruits could be tasted.
After some time, the colourful cake slices were served onto the marble table in unique teardrop-shaped plates. The utensils that came with them did not only stand out for their design, as they were broad at the ends but narrow in the middle, but had also brought about an avant garde effect.
The bright pink of the macaron and mini flowers matched the dark red chocolate cake that was Red Velvet ($7.90) very well. Though the dark chocolate was rich, there was also a strong cherry taste that will appeal to those with a sweet tooth. On the other hand, the crisp and fresh macaron wasn’t too sweet in relation to the cake, and balanced out the flavours nicely. The Red Velvet was almost like a richer version of the black forest cake.
Sacher Torte ($7.90), the traditional dense Austrian chocolate cake, looked the simplest among all 3 cakes. However, its light taste was especially delightful with the pitted dark sweet cherries and exquisite Valrhona chocolate ganache. The cake was fluffier than the Red Velvet and it could be felt melting in the mouth.
The Hazelnut Pear Torta ($6.90) looked very appetizing with it’s warm colours and glazed appearance, and failed to disapoint as it actually tasted very good. It’s flaky, crunchy and not too dry. Also, the caramelized pear slices were fresh and firm, thanks to their not being overcooked. On a side note, relatively strong jaws were needed due to the generous amount of hazelnuts mixed in the tart.
Verdict
All in all, the food and drinks served were pleasing to both the eyes and the tastebuds, while the pleasant ambience and huge window display of desserts made the slightly expensive cakes worth the money. Furthermore, the tableware that serves the light selection of cakes enhances the overall eating experience by presenting a playful yet sophisticated vibe.
1 Caramel is good for small cosy tea parties, a quiet place to read a book or just spending a lazy afternoon.
About the shop
Why it is named 1 Caramel…
According to the general manager, Ms Melanie Ng, 1 Caramel gives the image of sweetness and gratifying desserts. ‘Caramel’, which is derived from the caramelisation of sugar, is used as a base in most desserts, among them perennial favourites Crème Brûlée and Panna Cotta. The sticky substance is also used to shape designs on desserts as decorative art. Therefore, ‘Caramel’ in 1 Caramel represents the range of confections that customers can expect at the patisserie, which welcomes with its intoxicating aroma that permeates through the air.
Why it is found at The Luxe…
The location, also according to Ms Ng, is perfect for targeting a discerning demographic whom may be familiar with the cake-and-coffee culture prevalent overseas, such as in Australia, London and New York; as well as urbanites residing at Emily Hill and Mount Sophia.

The EA SPORTS™ FIFA Online 2 NP Cyber Soccer Cup kicked off on 27 July 2009 with preliminary rounds running through 3 days at Ngee Ann Polytechnic Film and Media Studies block.
After 1 month of publicity of try out booths at NP Ourspace@72 and roadshows at NP Orchard, more than 100 students signed up for the NP Cyber Soccer Cup. They were then randomly sorted into 4 days and most students had to play against strangers.
Students were in for a surprise when they played against their schoolmates. Matches were played furiously as people pitted their online soccer skills against each other.
“It was a great opportunity where I could see my level of skill when I challenge other people,” Anthony Tan, 19 said.
Gino Lee, 19, also commented that he was able to feel “how competitve the whole tournament is”.
Some students also took the opportunity to make new friends when playing against each other, offering a friendly handshake to each other after every match, and cheering each other on in the following matches.
The last day of the preliminary round and Top 16 will be held at E2Max Cine-L9 on 15 August 2009, from 12pm – 5pm.
After six months of activity to reaffirm their spot amongst the elite of the Korean entertainment industry, TVXQ! has finally taken up their alias, Tohoshinki, once more. With the release of their fourth Japanese album, ‘The Secret Code‘, they seek to cement their position at the top of the Japanese charts.
This album does not disappoint. Besides including songs from their chart-topping singles such as ‘Why Did I Fall In Love With You‘ and ‘Beautiful You‘, Secret Code contains a couple of the members’ self-penned songs such as ‘Without Forgetting‘ (by Jaejoong Kim) an ‘Kiss The Baby Sky‘ (by Yoochun Park).
The most notable track in this album is the mysteriously-titled ‘9095‘. Composed by Jaejoong Kim, the lead vocalist of Tohoshinki, the song speaks of a mysterious love that is rumored to resonate with his own past experiences. 9095 is a mixture of Japanese and French, oddly poetic lyrics such as Trois, the spider web which entangles and entangles like this, continously/ The sandclock which started to go backwards to 9095. It comes with a dripping beat and synthesizer effects, which enhance the relaxing, but still undoubtedly enigmatic feeling of the piece.
Speaking of poetic, Jaejoong Kim also amazes with the lyrics of ‘Without Forgetting‘, which he wrote in Japanese despite having learned the language for only a couple of years. Unrequited love seems to be a running theme in the songs of which he is involved in producing, and Without Forgetting is not an exception. This dredge of a memory grows stronger/ A short message from you/ Tightens my chest a little but/ I want to continue watching over an eternal happiness, he writes, causing much speculation amongst his fans as to whether he drew from his own experiences when writing this song. Paired with Tohoshinki’s experience in singing ballads, the song sounds painfully believable.
With impressively composed songs such as these, it leaves me to wonder why songs such as Survivor and Box in the Ship are still included. While undoubtedly catchy enough to stay stuck in one’s head for a few days at the least, in contrast with Without Forgetting, the lyrics seem juvenile and superficial, to the point of being silly.
(Though, silly- or ‘young’, for lack of better words- might be the point for songs such as We Are! and Share The World, both of which were used as opening songs for the popular Japanese animation, One Piece.)
However, it is understandable that, having Japanese as a second language, the song-writing process would be tedious and take a far longer time. It does give hope though, that the group’s future albums would have a greater portion of meaningful, self-composed songs.
What I find less-than-stellar about the album, however, is the inclusion of songs such as
Purple Line and Mirotic, which are both translated versions of their Korean chart-toppers. While the songs do remain catchy and their singing doesn’t fail to impress, the words ofttimes sound awkward and ill-fitted to the melody, which was originally tailored for a set of Korean lyrics, instead.
Also, I was disappointed by the absence of any bonus a capella tracks, which is what Tohoshinki was initially known for.
With a whopping 19 tracks overall, The Secret Code is a good balance of ballads and catchy pop songs, and though some cater more for the 13-16 year-old age group of their audience, the others do reveal Tohoshinki’s better-than-expected song writing abilities.

My body is a journal in a way. It’s like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist.
- Johnny Depp, actor
6 hours of enduring multiple needles scratching onto raw skin, 2 weeks of healing time, and a cost of $500.
That is the price of Mr Darrell Yang’s black and white portrait tattoo of his daughter on his forearm.
Mr Yang, 28, a merchandise retailer, found that he was not contented with simply a photograph of his two-year-old daughter, Alexis, in his wallet.
“I needed a way to have her closer to me because I go overseas so often for work,” he said to explain his decision of having Alexis’ smiling face permanently copied from his favourite photograph of her onto his skin in a beautiful portrait.
He’s not alone.
Many Singaporeans believe that engraving memories onto their bodies is the best way of immortalising them. The success of the first Singapore Tattoo Show attests to that.
There is no “underground” community, no dark den of drunken sailors initiating themselves into manhood via cheap, ill-conceived exercises in bodily perforation; it’s just a group of people who delight in using their bodies as billboards.
- Joanne McCubrey, writer
Using your bodies as billboards for immortalising memories is not 21st century idealism.
Originating from the Tahitian word, tatau, its history dates back centuries ago. What began as symbols of religion gradually evolved to become marks of social identity and then as a means of body art.
During medieval times, tattooing was performed as a rite of passage, indicating status and rank. Tattoos were also signs of religious and spiritual devotion, bravery, fertility, love, punishment and protection. Tattoos were the mark of an outcast, slave and convict. It was used to brand Jews in concentration camps during the Holocaust, bestowing upon them an inferior status in society. Sailors from Europe used to have the picture of the crucifixion of Christ tattooed on their backs for protection and also as a form of identification.
Nowadays, the essence of tattooing is body art, with the body becoming a canvas. Though slowly straying away from religious and social factors, it is undeniable that tattoos are now done largely for sentimental reasons.
Be it the piety for religion, a sense of belonging or an abstract visual of what represents you, your feelings play a big part in influencing your choice of tattoo.
Tattoos are like stories; they’re symbolic of the important moments in your life. Sitting down, talking about where you got each tattoo and what it symbolises, is really beautiful.
- Pamela Anderson, actress

Sean Tan, a 23-year-old design student, has an abstract representation of her family tattooed on her right calf. It depicts the flight of a sparrow surrounded by 5 stars, each symbolising a member of her family, and engulfed by a ring of yellow flames.
“The yellow flame holds the stars together while the sparrow beneath it signifies a peace and happiness I hope for my parents. Overall, it represents family bonding,” she said.

Blending into this picture of hope, on the other side of her calf, is a huge lotus. A symbol of faith, it reminds her of the teachings of Buddhism – that which encompasses tranquility and patience, and her loyalty to her creed.
While some tattoos symbolise closeness, others express regret. “Think before you ink” – that is the oft-quoted advice from experienced tattoo artists before committing.
Some who get tattooed on impulse may end up regretting. As Richard Jeni, an American
stand-up comedian, puts it, “I see a woman with a tattoo, and I’m thinking, okay, here’s a girl who’s capable of making a decision she’ll regret in the future.”
Miss Eunice Yeo, a 25-year-old marketing executive, recalled, “I tattooed my first boyfriend’s name on my lower back when I was 18 and I regretted it after we broke up. But there’s nothing I can do about it so I told myself that it was an act of young, foolish love. It reminds me of the days when I was crazy and irrational. Back then, love was the only thing that kept me sane.”
Show me a man with a tattoo and I’ll show you a man with an interesting past.
- Jack London, author
A tattoo is a poetic creation: it tells stories. When an artist interprets a narrative and pens it into a visual, the image moves the author. A shade of privacy and intimacy engulfs the picture and translates into a story that cannot be understood by others.
If tattoos are unable to tell a story that involves you emotionally, they’re merely for decoration. There’s no doubt that some body art is meant to complement the body canvas but when there’s emotional appeal, they tell people what you are and what you believe in.
After all, beauty is skin deep, but tattoos go all the way to the bone.
3 Things to Note Before Going Under the Needle
Sidebar by: Eunice Li
1. Research your tattoo artist
The difference between a tattoo and a really amazing tattoo is the artist, so ask to see examples of the artist’s portfolio before you make the all-important decision.
Some things to look out for in the portfolio include:
Line work – Are the edges smooth?
Shading – Do the colours blend well to create depth and dimension?
2. Know the risks
Besides the physical agony of going under the needle, you also run the risk of allergies and transmittable diseases. To minimise the dangers involved, make sure the tattoo artist sterilises his or her equipment before inking.
3. Tattoos are for life
According to Times Record News, 1 out of 4 adults in America sport at least 1 tattoo, but the same study shows 17 percent regret going under the needle and are considering tattoo removal procedures.
Sure, tattoos are acceptable in this day and age, but if you have a public image to maintain (for example, in your job or college) it’s best you get something discreet. After all, you don’t want to spend 20 minutes every morning covering your tattoo with foundation.
Also, before you decide to ink the picture of your dead pet on your forearm, do consider the consequences – what is your new pet going to think?
Ng Yan Hong reviews Year of the Gentleman and lets us in on the who to the what and the rating for Ne-Yo’s 3rd album.
Who
This 29-year-old R&B singer-songwriter has several remarkable hits under his belt. An established producer, he helped create Beyonce’s 10-week number one hit, “Irreplaceable”. The Pussycat Dolls also had the pleasure of working with him.
What
Since his successful debut (In My Own Words), in 2006 and well-received sophomore effort, (Because of You), in 2007, Ne-Yo is back with his highly anticipated third outing, (Year Of The Gentleman). His first single, “Closer”, is an energetic dance track — a refreshing change from his urban songs that already dominate airwaves and charts. What makes the album shine is that when the man sings about the blues, you just know he means it, especially on tracks like “Mad” and “Part Of The List”.
Bottom Line
Despite the promising opening, the album mellows too quickly. The hits are definitely deserving, but the fillers stick out like sore thumbs.
Rating: 3/5 stars

Rewind 1 - Man Marries Bitch
According to FOX News, a 33-year-old Indian farmer has taken the saying “man’s best friend” to a whole new level.
Not content to have a dog merely as a loyal companion, Mr Selvakamr recently married a 10-year-old female stray, Selvi, in a traditional Hindu ceremony held at a temple in Tamil Nadu.
This was no love story though. The groom only married the bitch in hopes of lifting a curse, which he claimed has left him deaf in 1 ear, with his limbs paralysed for some years.
Mr Selvakamr believed he was cursed by a couple of canines, he had tortured 15 years back (by stoning them to death and stringing them on a tree). He’s convinced that the only way to lift the hex is to wed a pooch.
Unfortunately, before the ceremony, Selvi the mutt had a change of heart and attempted a ‘runaway-bride’ – perhaps back to her other more furry friends? She was later caught and returned to her ardent groom.
With such an inauspicious start, it looks like this unusual marriage
is doomed to go to the dogs. Literally.
Rewind 2 - Battle of the Squeegees
The Edmonton Sun reported that a fierce fight erupted between would-be robber, Ryan Anthony Gambler, 25, and his victim in California.
Both men were spotted chasing each other around a gas station wielding dangerous instruments that were rough, tough and just a wee bit rubbery – squeegees.
Earlier on, Ryan had approached his unsuspecting prey under the pretense of asking for a cigarette, before whipping out a knife to extort money.
Unfortunately for the aspiring bandit, the target he chose proved to be feisty and, ignoring Ryan’s threats, the man ran straight to a gas station where he grabbed a squeegee to defend himself.
Undeterred, Ryan ran after him, and appearing to forget about his knife, the robber chose to grab a couple of squeegees as weapons too. The 2 then began chasing each other around the gas station.
Ryan must have thought a squeegee was the way to clean out his victim’s pockets.
Rewind 3 - Subway’s the way
What do you do when you’re late for work, and the fuming boss is demanding an explanation? Why, blame your local subway, of course.
According to The Associated Press, passengers late for school or work due to delays on the public transport can phone The New York City (NYC) Transit to request for delay verification letters.
An official letter clearly stating which subway line was taken; the duration of the hold up and the entire trip will be mailed to the respective passengers’ homes a week or two after a request is made over the phone.
The NYC Transit has been sending out 34,000 verification letters annually, and is now even in the process of creating an online request system, which enables passengers to conveniently make such requests through the Internet.
Take heart everyone; justifying tardiness will soon be just a mouse click away.
Rewind 4 - Don’t Pooh-Pooh Poo
This year for Christmas, Miller Park Zoo (located in Illinois, USA) has come up with a brilliant solution to utilize animal droppings, and earn some cash in the process.
CBS News reports that the zoo has been manufacturing Christmas ornaments out of hardened reindeer poo that were kindly provided by Ealu and Rika- the zoo’s resident reindeer.
The droppings are first dried, clear coated, and then finally prettied up with either glitter or paint. These balls of poo, named “magical reindeer gem ornaments” are later placed on sale at the zoo’s gift shop, retailing at US$5 (S$7.51) each.
With the recession looming, maybe next year’s ornaments will be dried human faeces instead?
Rewind 5 - Won’t kiss till they’re married
Think you’re committed to your job? Try beating this married couple who have delayed their first kiss all the way up to their wedding day.
According to Chicago Tribune, Melody LaLuz and Claudaniel Fabien- both abstinence course instructors to Chicago public school teens- were so determined to practice what they preached, that they avoided lip-to-lip contact until they were pronounced legally married.
The couple took great pains to prevent themselves from succumbing to the temptation throughout their year-long courtship and showed their love through other “safer” alternatives instead, such as helping each other out in household chores.
But what about the saying of testing the car before you buy it?
Ms Laluz confidently refuted this belief, stating: “You can’t take the car out of the parking lot until you pay for it.”
Let’s hope she won’t get buyer’s remorse when she finally gets into the proverbial car during the honeymoon.
