Alodia in E-games Cosplay Calendar
Never mind that Philippine game publisher E-games is headed by a hardcore gamer who runs eight-hour WoW raids, or that they’re in the best position to survive once Filipino griefers learn to DDoS game servers. They get massive, massive points for hiring popular Filipina gamer Alodia Gosiengfiao as their 2009 cosplay calendar girl. She’s relatable, she’s relevant, and she’s not hard on the eyes — perfect for the project.
For years, people have increasingly trusted their peers above traditional authorities. Gamers will not only buy E-games’ new calendar; they will associate the name of a popular gamer with that of E-games itself. Gamers will trust that endorsement far more than they would any endorsement from some nongamer model.

disregard my prev comment..
PRAISE FILCOSPLAY FOR STILL HAVING ALODIA AS THEIR QUEEN!
(until I saw this Jerry Polence, I just nodded to Wikipedia in agreement.. cosplay IDOL? WTH?!)
If E-games wants to maximize Alodia’s endorsement, they should put her likeness in their games. Wonder if they can do that.
how do i get a copy of the calendar? it it available only in the philippines?
Tisha Silang for me is still the biggest name to be featured on this calendar.
Tisha Silang may be a hit with TV viewers, and she’s a probably a cool girl, but she is neither relevant nor relatable to gamers.
