Opening Iso file in Linux

Ones who like trying many Linux distros or ones who like playing PSX game on emulator (stop piracy hehehe :D ), at least had once facing an iso file. If you want to open and read the contain, you can do it with this command on terminal (login as root):

# mount file.iso /destination/directory -o loop

then open /destination/directory.

That command means mounting a file name 'file.iso' to '/destination/directory'. While '-o loop' means mount will try to find some unused loop device and use that. You can change 'file.iso' with your file name, and change '/destination/directory' to your destination directory.

For example, if you have a file 'Movie.iso' in '/tmp' directory that you want to be mounted on '/mnt/Movie'. To mount it, type command:

# mount /tmp/Movie.iso /mnt/Movie -o loop

Next, open /mnt/Movie directory to view the contain of Film.iso.


Have a good try....;)

Toribash, an Innovative game

If you want to taste an interesting and unique game, Toribash worth to try.
This physic turn based fighting game genre is really innovative, differ from other games with same kind of genre. Two thumbs up game :).



On this game, a player must control every movement of his character to make its 'physical body' move, this can be done by managing contraction, relaxation, holding, extending of its joint. every single move of a joint can create a different style of movement.

It can be played online, but you must register an account to play for free. Eventhough this game can be played on single player mode and multiplayer, sadly, it not provide feature of LAN multiplayer gaming. The good news, it can be played with a low specification computer, even without a 3D accelerated video card. I have test it on my computer; Intel Pentium 4 3.06 GHz processor, 1 GB DDR2 memory, and (surprise!!!) Via P4M890 Graphic Chipset... It run smoothly :).

This game can be installed on Linux, Windows, and Mac platform.

Sorry for my bad english...

Happy gaming....:)
