Dot Com Pho - The Epic Fail

May 25th, 2008 by Michael Kwan

Just like last week’s episode of Dot Com Pho, Stephen Fung decided to take over the directorial duties for this week’s gathering of Vietnamese noodle enthusiasts. While I was able to obtain my NEXUS pass, the week hasn’t been quite as favorable for one Danny Chang.

Adding a little more artistic value to this week’s production, Stephen Fung decided to take advantage of slow-motion capture for a very special moment for Danny. It was definitely an epic fail, but it was so epic is such an epic kind of way too.

Also this week is the return of The Lab with Leo (Chiang) where he highlights a product that was once quite functional, but after $20 worth of modifications, it too becomes an epic failure. Just like Danny Chang.

By this time next week, many from the Dot Com Pho crew will be in Taipei for the Computex Trade Show. As such, it will only be appropriate that we hold the first ever Dot Com Taiwanese Beef Noodle from there, making our weekly lunches just that much more international! I wonder how John Chow and Stephen Fung will work out who gets to direct the first Dot Com Taiwan…

Also, a quick reminder that the BEST COMMENT CONTEST ENDS TONIGHT (Sunday 11:59pm PST). I’m thinking this post could be your best opportunity to win. Check out the original post for full contest details.

      Well that depends. If you want 80′ Batman with Michael Keaton, then you would probably want a John Chow. If you want an EPIC Heath Ledger’s last performance Batman, then the choice is pretty clear :D

      The real sumo wrestlers don’t throw rice into the ring, they throw salt.

      The gadget of the week was somewhat lame, and fully deserve its place between the bench and Leo’s rear end!

      Your name appeared in the closing credits but I didn’t see you in the video???
