About the Author
Chris Kohler is an editor/writer/karaoke performance artist who lives in San Francisco, where all three of those things are a dime a dozen. So like most of his friends, he has written articles about video games for Wired, Official PlayStation Magazine, 1up.com, IGN, Gamespy, Nintendo Official Magazine UK, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and probably a few other publications.
Kohler’s first book, Power-Up: How Japanese Video Games Gave the World an Extra Life, was published by BradyGAMES in September 2004. Kohler completed the research for Power-Up as a Fulbright scholar to Kyoto, Japan. He graduated summa cum laude with highest thesis honors from Tufts University, where he was Phi Beta Kappa. He has contributed to books such as Gaming Hacks (O’Reilly) and High Score! Second Edition (McGraw-Hill).
All that aside, he would most like to be remembered as having starred as the first guard after Vulcan Raven in the Easy mode of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for Nintendo GameCube.
