Hello? Is anybody out there? My name is Nathan Cykiert. I was filming a daily news show with my friend, Chris Ziegler. It's only 90 seconds long, but we still manage to cram the top stories of the day into it. Anyway, I think we made some sort of wrong turn because now we're a little lost. If anyone can hear me, could you direct us back to the Las Vegas Convention Center? That would be very helpful. Also, do you know where I could get a pastrami sandwich around here?
Wake up (wake up). Grab a brush and put a little make-up. Hide the mic and slant the rhyme to bacon. Why'd you leave your laptop on the table? Why'd you host, you're tired and unstable. (You wanted to!)
Are you there God? It's Me, 1080p. I've been pretty down lately. I mean, I used be hip. I used to popular. Ok, I'm being a little overdramatic. I'm sorry. It's just that no one is talking about me anymore. These days, people only care about 4K. Ugh, what kind of name is that anyway? 4K? It just doesn't flow off the tongue like 1080p. I sound so much more bold and magical! Anyway, I hope you're enjoying CES and I'll talk to you when you get back.
You hop on your dune buggy, start the engine, and head deep into the desert. Your skin dries and cracks as the sun's rays hit your face. As your mouth dries and your head feels funny, you begin to wonder if you're ever going to make it. Just as hope begins to dwindle, you see it. The bright lights, the disgusting amount of people, and the overabundance of 4K products. You park your buggy, brush the sand off your hoodie, and smile. You have arrived at CES 2014.

Hello. It appears you're trying to enroll in our healthcare program. Would you like some help? Perhaps I can direct you to a specialist for that headache you are getting after staring at error screens on our website. No? You're all set? Well if you need anything, just ask for Clippy. Why am I a paperclip and not something medical related? I don't know. People loved me on Office, but I don't think it's translating well to this site.
The year is 2082. The Resistance, lead by our great leader, Steven Ballmer, has lost its most recent battle against the robotic army of Google. The machines are simply too fast, too strong, and too Android-y. We may have lost the battle, but we shall not lose this war. We must always remember the words of our mighty captain. "RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE RESISTANCE!!!!!!"
We are sad to announce that after filming of today's episode commenced, Nathan Cykiert was killed. He was leaving the '90 Seconds on The Verge' studio when a black cat ran out from under a desk, scaring Nathan and causing him to lose his balance. He attempted to catch himself, but instead smashed into a mirror, shattering it. Glass was everywhere as people ran to help Nathan, but it was too late. He had already picked himself back up and was going to grab a broom to clean up the mess he made. As he opened the maintenance closet, natural causes kicked in and Nathan died.

"Hello fellow player. I love playing the World of Warcraft with you. Remember that time those wolves attacked us? That was so fun. You were making jokes about "going all terrorist on their ass." That was hilarious. What is your home address? I want to send you a gift because we are friends. I am not a spy. I love this game."

This will of course be followed by back-to-back films in late 2019 and early 2020 called 'X-Men: Can't The Avengers Take This One?' and 'X-Men: If We Must.' Finally, in 2024, the X-Men film everyone is waiting for will hit theaters. Get ready for 'X-Men: Based on the Story Push By Sapphire.'" —@BryanSinger
