Hi. If you’re reading this, then you’re probably relatively new to mightygodking.com, home of Christopher “MGK” Bird (and very occasionally other people as well). If you really desperately want to know more about who this amazing person currently typing up a third-person summary of himself is, then go here. Otherwise, continue reading.
This blog has seen some posts that were hugely popular since its inception in August 2007 (when the maintainer was kicked off his Livejournal for, ahem, “creative differences,” and laid out the cash for a proper website of his own, with email and everything).
