Comic Transcripts

GAX: Did you forget? We had plans to go cosmic bowling!
ALAN: I’m sorry, Gax, I never got the message! I have a date tonight with Amanda!

GAX: Amanda, AMANDA! Everything’s Amanda THIS, Amanda THAT! Fine. ENJOY your date with Amanda. I will be BOWLING. For BOTH of us.

ALAN [[answering his phone]]: Amanda! Hey! You…what? Have a severe human disease that means you have to cancel our date?
ALAN: Your voice…it sounds kind of like a Gaxian who is pretty good at shape-shifting his vocal cords, but not great.

GAX [[also on the phone]]: Dude I’ve been Amanda from the beginning

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.
