Comic Transcripts

RAY: Ready to go? Let’s hit the road!
ANDY: Just one sec, let me Google for directions.
RAY: Can’t we look ’em up in the car? You got an iPhone for Christmas, right?

ANDY: No, I took it off my list. I got to thinking, you know – I’m already too Internet-addicted as it is. I don’t really need to check my email at traffic lights. It’d just be another first-world trinket lashing me to the gotta-stay-informed noise-grid. I realized, man…I gotta start moving in the opposite direction if I ever want to feel contentment again.

RAY: Got one and lost it already, didn’t he?
HELENA: Left it on the train yesterday.
ANDY: Until we’ve looked through ALL THE TRAIN CARS IN NEW YORK IT IS NOT TECHNICALLY LOST

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
