[[Two men are sitting together on a bench, talking to each other.]]

Man #1: …AND THAT’S WHY IN FIFTY YEARS WE’LL ALL BE EATING OUR DEAD.
Man #2: THANK YOU! IT’S FASCINATING HEARING YOU RAMBLE PASSIONATELY YET ONLY HALF-COHERENTLY ABOUT SOMETHING YOU READ ONLINE SOMEWHERE.

Man #1: ARE YOU BEING SARCASTIC?
Man #2: NO. NOT IN THE LEAST.

Man #1: …WAS THAT ALSO SARCASTIC?
Man #2: TOTALLY SERIOUS. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.

Man #1: THAT WAS CLEARLY SARCASTIC.

Man #1: SAY SOMETHING ELSE.
Man #2: MAN, I JUST LOVE TALKING TO YOU!

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.
