    It's Hatsune Miku. There's a Japanese mnemonic for remembering numbers, and 39 can be read as "mi ku."

    I think it's from Hatsune Miku: Project Diva for PSP - there is a Space Channel 39 costume you can unlock for Miku in it.

    If the gaming culture wants to undo the damage they've done in affecting our culture's view on the female body, the industry as well as the gamers need to grow up.

    Sadly I don't see that happening. Have you seen the photos of the the new character in the Borderlands DLC? I love breasts but damn, those screenshots made me cringe.

    With that said, it's obviously not just the gaming industry at fault but in so many facets of our instant gratification culture. But it doesn't mean the gaming industry can't be better about it.

    While costume wise the west can often keep up with the east, in terms of overall "performance" the east frequently dominates.

    There's something about eastern Cosplay that they're able to really get into the character not just with the outfit, but the overall attitude as well.
