Amos: But you’re my LAWYER, Rod! There’s got to be SOMETHING you can do!
Rod: I’m sorry, Amos, it’s pretty OPEN-AND-SHUT from their point of view.

[[Inside a brick-walled room, presumably inside the official building from panel 1. There is a trunk stage up-right. ROD is in front of the trunk, and AMOS is in a cylindrical cage beside the trunk.]]

Amos: That maniac JUMPED me in an alley, BEAT me senseless…TIED me up and LEFT me, passed out, bleeding!

Amos: I was MUGGED, for god’s sake! In WHAT world do I then get LOCKED UP?

Rod: Note from Batman says you’re the perp, then you’re the perp.
Amos: HOW IS THAT EVEN ADMISSIBLE

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.
