‘Quake’ gets a new level to celebrate 20th anniversary

Let it sink in for a second that Quake is celebrating its 20^th year of existence. Done digesting that? Well, if you’re still a big fan of the game and still play it every now and then, MachineGames just dropped a new level for the original game to celebrate the milestone. You’ll need to extract the package into your Quake folder and then set “-game dopa” as a launch option in Steam, which is 50 percent off as part of Steam’s Summer Sale. You can download it from here.

Facebook introduces photo slideshows

Making it easier for you to share multiple photos from a single event, Facebook is introducing a new Slideshows feature into the app. So, if you’ve shot more than five photos or videos in the span of a day, Facebook will collate these into a slideshow and put it on top of your News Feed. You’re then free to customize the slideshow to your liking. It has 10 different themes at the moment with a number of background music and overlays. The themes include Inspired, Nostalgic, Playful, Night Out, Birthday, Epic, Thankful, Tropical, Bollywood, and Amped.

At the same time, you can select the “Try It” button if a friend’s slideshow appears on your feed. If you’ve seen one of those Friendship videos on your feed, it works similar to that. The feature launches globally but it’s only available for iOS users at the moment.

But Ustream hasn’t really been making news when it comes to game live streaming. The last we heard from them was when they were bought by IBM to power enterprise broadcast services.

Review: Papago! GoSafe 268 mirror mounted dash-cam

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Dash-cams are a very viable and low-cost product worth considering if you want to add some tracking and security to your daily commute.
