Alodia Turns Down Maxim
Filipina gamer-blogger-cosplayer babe Alodia Gosiengfiao just turned down an offer to pose for an article in Maxim Philippines.
This is not the first time she’s snubbed the mainstream media. Previously, she rebuffed a TV offer from Maxim Philippines’ parent company ABS-CBN, an offer later taken by her friend and fellow cosplayer Dianne Lopez (Update, January 26: ABS-CBN’s Eric Ang Go, who hired Dianne, just sent me an SMS. He claims to not know Alodia.).
She was right to turn down the article. She deserves no less than the cover.
Update, January 26: Dianne just took Maxim’s offer.

Animated Windows XP Girl
Japanese otaku affectionately anthropomorphize Windows versions as cute female mascots called OS-tans. With Vista shipping in a few weeks, let’s give one last hurrah for the pretty and bouncy XP-tan.
You can guess which part of an OS-tan’s anatomy corresponds to her memory requirements. I can’t wait to see Vista-tan.
