Bernardo: I just had one of those full-body CAT scans.
Turns out I’m a walking calamity.

Bernardo: Got cysts in my gut. Calcium in my gallbladder. Spurs in my joints. Some kind of parasite living in my spine, and over a dozen different types of gout.

Bernardo: All apparently asymptomatic.
Man, yesterday I was fine. Now I’m a bucket of meat about to keel over.

Leopod: Don’t forget cancer from the scan.
Bernardo: I can now cook Hot Pockets from a distance.

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.
