ROB: Gax, I’m super nervous about my big date!
GAX: I shouldn’t tell you this, Rob, but there is such a thing as a Gaxian luck spell!

GAX: I should warn you – it’s extremely powerful.
ROB: I could really use a little luck tonight! Does it work on humans?
GAX: I assure you that it does.

GAX [[whispering to ROB]]: PSSSWSSS STSSSTSSWSS

GAX [[to an incinerated, and annoyed, ROB]]: I did not specify what kind of luck.

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.
