Who is this guy?
Hey, y'all! I'm Mark, the writer and compiler for Ask the King of Games.

I am 21, love to party and love to read, write and watch awesome flicks.

I was born in Utah, but honestly despise the place. I lived in Texas for the majority of the life I remember and now the US Coast Guard has me living in Portland, OR.

I am engaged to the most amazing gal in the whole world and we're set to get married summer of 2015.

Where does he get off?
I started this series out of sheer boredom. I began watching the first season of the original series again when I was about 15 and found myself wishing that there was more to it than just card game appeal for the kids. Then I did some serious searching and found that there was a much darker side to Yu-Gi-Oh! that much of America had never even heard of. Upon further research I found the original [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_(subseries) Yu-Gi-Oh! manga], which to my surprise I found myself remembering from my late elementary to early Jr High days. It was this that got me thinking about how much better the series could have been if the really dark elements (i.e. the Shadow Games that Yami came up with) had continued after the focus shifted to the card games. From there I began a rough draft for just such a series.

Then, as I was just finishing the touches on my first draft, I came across something that completely changed my view on what could have been. Everyone who loves this series loves, knows of, or has at least heard of LittleKuriboh. It was [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh:_The_Abridged_Series Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series] that finally gave me the direction that Yu-Gi-Oh! The King of Games would take. This would be a hybrid of the dark from the first series with humor that seemed to be missing from the series as a whole. Thus I began my work on a new draft, abandoning my old one entirely.

That brings us to today, over four years later. My idea has finally began to come to fruition. On January 1st, 2015 I began the release of my bastard brainchild on the Tumblr blog [http://askthekingofgames.tumblr.com/ Yugioh! Ask the King of Games]. To all the fans of the series, I want to thank you. This would not be possible without your support and love. Lets ride this pony to the Shadow Realm and back just for shits and giggles!
