The #OccupyWallstreet movement is still strong after weeks of continual protesting and marching in the hart of New York.

Want to see Batman Arkham City in big head mode? Here's how to unlock it -- (Video)

Batman’s a serious dude… he demands respect. And if you don’t give it to him, well let’s just say he’s known to hang people upside down from a hundred foot drop to their death and scream in their face with his ungodly bat voice. But you wanna soften the ol’ Caped Crusader and get in touch with his cude and cuddly side, try out the Big Head mode unlockable recently discovered in Arkham City. 

PETA is after Nintendo and Mario's Raccoon Suit wearing habits in 3D Land... seriously

Believe it or not, but PETA (the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) — who apparently have nothing else better to do — are going after one particular Italian plumber because he commandeers the skins of Tanuki’s and uses them to hover around his world that’s been overrun by turtles, Goomba-things, and bullets with faces on them. This is more than enough of a reason for PETA to get in Nintendo’s grill about the inclusion of the ol’ raccoon suit from the original Super Mario Bros. 3 into the newly released Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS. — More after the break!

Control this 360 degree video while you're watching it - Video

We’ve seen things like this before, but in photograph form. This is the first time we’ve seen a really great 360 degree video you can actually control, and man oh man is it beautiful. It’s not in HD of course, or the video would take hours to buffer, but non the less it’s awesome. Check out more of their work over here.

Google, Twitter, Facebook and others send a letter to Congress to stop PROTECT-IP & SOPA bills

As you are well aware, the US government is planning to pass a handful of bills that will enable them to execute censorship in the US and outside of the US… today. The odds are not in our favor, and as the collective, we need to stay on-top of this because if these bills (as written) are passed, it will mean disaster down the road. We could go into details, but we’ll hand you off to some people who actually know what they’re talking about after the jump!
