There are two big wide releases this week. Runner Runner stars, but is not directed by, Ben Affleck.

The new purpose of the Gawker Media Group is to out people behind anonymous comedy Twitter accounts. This includes their recent investigation of @DadBoner. (Deadspin)

After the jump, March Madness, the science of video game difficulty and Community returns tomorrow. Continue reading

However, the readers of Rolling Stone have found something worse to take the crown from Shatner and I don’t think the world is better for their discovery. The new #1 worst cover of all-time takes our Worst of Music award for this week. It’s Miley Cyrus doing a live cover of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. Continue reading
