[[A BEAR in an ill-fitting Prussian military helmet prowls about aimlessly.]]
BEAR: I’m a bear! I’m a bear!

[[A FISHERMAN appears. He’s bigger than the BEAR.]]
FISCHER: STOP it. You are NOT a bear.
You are a FISH in a COSTUME.

BEAR: I thought
(small voice) I thought I was a bear.
FISCHER: You have been CLAIMING so, but you are WRONG.

BEAR (to himself): I never realized how much being a fish feels like being a bear.
FISCHER: Now come here and put this hook in your mouth.

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!
