Dot Com Pho After Hours – Fast and Furious Edition

This week you get a two for one deal. An After Hours Double Feature, extended cut if you will.

Since there simply wasn’t enough footage last week with just Leo Chiang and me at Dot Com Turk After Hours, we decided to just film what we ate and include it into this weeks video. I hope you’re hungry folks because we both ate over thirty dollars worth of food each. Leo is going to come out to Kam Do for lunch later this week to attempt the Legendary Mixed Grill. Will Leo join me in the Kam Do Hall of Fame? Or will he blow chunks in the parking lot? You’ll have to stay tuned!

At this week’s Dot Com Pho After Hours we welcome some familiar faces back including John Chow who is back from answering war crimes against Pandas in China, and Michael Kwan, who is happy to not be freezing his ass off in Edmonton. We get a look at the Kindle 2 for our gadget segment, we discuss the Segway and why Michael should not ride one (but he could ride the new GM PUMA).

We also engage in banter with Ed Lau about why he thinks the Subaru STI sounds like a car the Swedish Chef built?! Also uncovered is the Mystery of John Dory on Hells Kitchen and we recite many quotes from the Fast and Furious movie franchise and give away some posters. Enjoy!

If you’d like to win my last “Fast and Furious: New Models. Original Parts.” poster, just like the one Ed Lau and Michael Kwan got, make a comment in this post with YOUR favourite Fast and Furious quote from any of the movies in the franchise. I’ll randomly draw for it sometime next week.

The Nintendo…Shii?

I don’t really play my Nintendo Wii much. It was just exciting to get it finally and be one of the first to own it. Sure I bought Wii Fit, but that kind of fizzled out for me after a couple of months. Something about the thing asking if I’d eaten yet, brushed my teeth or when it made that “Oh…” sounds when I stepped on the platform didn’t appeal to me for that long. I’m all about my Xbox 360 mainly. There’s something about video games that does not equate to physical effort for me.

While checking out the Futurelooks Forums today, one of the members posted a video that I thought was pretty darn hilarious. It basically shows how the Nintendo Wii seems all about guy games and how the girls seem left out. Well not any longer! The Nintendo “Shii” has arrived!

Warning: There are some scenes that might not fly with some viewers so I’ll mark this mildly NSFW. It’s also in another language that doesn’t sound familiar to me. Any guesses?

So can anyone do a translation? I don’t think that last game requires any translation

Uh Oh… Ali Larter is Obsessed With Me…

Today I received a video love note from Ali Larter. Of course this is nothing out of the ordinary seeing as I’m a Dot Com Pho star and all. I’m sure the other members get flowers and chocolates and stuffed teddy bears too. I know Ed Lau gets beautiful girls directly to his Hotel (but he has to order those).

At first I was flattered because wouldn’t you be if Ali Larter (HEROES, Whipped Cream Chick from Varsity Blues) made a video for you professing her love? She even knew that I was an Aquarius and that I like to cook and eat Chinese Food. I guess she’s a regular reader of my blog and is probably signed up to my RSS Feed, Twitter and Facebook updates.

But then as I watched the video, I started getting a little uncomfortable. It was like she was “obsessed” with me and I started feeling like my life was in danger. Maybe I’m overreacting? I mean, come on! How can you be upset about a hot movie star getting all hot and bothered about you? I’ve posted the video here. Maybe you can give me a second opinion?

This is probably one of the better done viral video campaigns for a movie that I’ve seen in a while. It totally makes you part of the experience, albeit a slightly creeepy one. I’m not sure if I’m going to see Ali’s movie or not, which opens on April 24th, but I did get a good laugh from the video courtesy of Michael Kwan (Where did you get that picture?).
