RYAN (out of frame to answer the phone): Hello? No, you didn’t wake me. What’s that? Yeah, sounds good. Okay. Fine. All right. Thanks for calling. Talk to you later.

RYAN (returns; thinking): Now, where were we…?
SOPHIA now has an elephant’s head and antlers, but is evidently still amorous.

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.
