LEFTY: All right, men, listen good. After six weeks at the oar, we’re nearing the Norman coast. The next few days will be brutal and bloody for all of us.
LEFTY: I need everyone to be at high alert. Watch for archers. Watch for scouts. Any questions?

PERKINS: Are we gonna get to pee before we start the invasion?
LEFTY: For cripes sakes, Perkins.
PERKINS: I mean, should I just hang it out over the side or what
VIKINGS: AAWWW
PERKINS: WHAT

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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.
