Jeff: Gax?
Gax: Jeff.
Jeff: Hey, uh, I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but can I ask you a silly question?
Gax: No silly questions, my false-brother. I am a curiosity ripe for inquisition.

Jeff: You’re a shapeshifter, right? You can assume any form?
Gax: Mmmyes.
Jeff: …So, are you actually wearing clothes? Or is it just your body assuming the shape of clothes?
Gax: Find out for yourself.

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.
