We love Hearthstone here at IGN, but its incredible depth can be quite intimidating. If you like the game, but don't know your Control Priests from your Mid-range Hunters, this series should help.

The 100: Raven’s Starting Season 3 in a Very Bad Place

Among The 100 fandom, Raven Reyes (Lindsey Morgan) has proven to be a resourceful and popular character. However, things have been far for easy for the young mechanical engineer, who found herself unable to use one of her legs after being shot at the end of Season 1. Season 3 of The 100, beginning Thursday night, will show that Raven, despite temporarily putting aside her obstacles last year, still has some huge physical and mental issues to overcome thanks to her recent disability.

Last week, shortly before the female cast members from The 100, joined by executive producer Jason Rothenberg, discussed the series during a panel at the TCA press tour, I sat down with Morgan to talk about Raven’s struggles in Season 3, her relationships with characters like Abby (Paige Turco) and Sinclair (Alessandro Juliani), and more.

Legends of Tomorrow: Hawkgirl’s Still Adjusting to the Truth

Having been introduced in an innocuous manner, as Cisco’s love interest on The Flash, Kendra (Ciara Renee) quickly turned out to be a much more important player in CW’s DC TV universe, as it was revealed (including to herself) that she was actually the latest reincarnation of Hawkgirl.

Kendra/Hawkgirl is now making the leap over to DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, as she and Carter/Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) join an unlikely, time traveling team out to stop the immortal Vandal Savage (Casper Crump), Kendra and Carter’s eternal enemy – and a man determined to kill them, as he has over and over through the ages.

During a visit to the set of Legends of Tomorrow, I spoke to Renee about how Kendra is adjusting to what she’s learned, how Renee is enjoying becoming a part of this world and more.

Amy Schumer Will Prove She Didn’t Steal Jokes

Amy Schumer will take a polygraph test on her Comedy Central sketch show to prove that she doesn't steal jokes. Hear for yourself below:

Speaking to Jim Norton on The Jim Norton Advice Show, Schumer pushed back against the allegations that her jokes aren't original. In particular, she spoke about three comedians —Wendy Liebman, Kathleen Madigan, and Tammy Pescatelli—who've recently questioned Schumer's ethics, saying that some of her jokes are suspiciously close to their own. Schumer, however, is persistent that she hadn't "seen those jokes from those people."

“I’m literally going to take a polygraph test and put it on my show this season,” Schumer told Norton. “And I promise whatever the results are—I won’t let them cut.”

The X-Files: Where We Left Off

It's been fourteen years since The X-Files aired its last new episode, and given some of its audience didn’t stick around for the final seasons -- following in the footsteps of the original stars, as David Duchovny left and Gillian Anderson took an increasingly smaller role -- it's possibly been longer than that since many of you watched it.

That being the case, we thought it would be a good idea then to remind (or inform) you about where the story left off, as six new episodes of The X-Files begin airing on Sunday, January 24th. So let’s do some catch up on the last couple years of The X-Files’ original run, along with the second X-Files movie from a few years back.

First off, in Season 7’s "Closure," Mulder accepted the following convoluted version of his sister's disappearance: Samantha was abducted by aliens (in cooperation with the U.S. Government) and subjected to multiple abductions during which she endured many horrible tests. For six years, between kidnappings, she lived in California as the sister of Jeffery Spender and the daughter of the Cigarette Smoking Man. When she was 14, she ran away and before she could be recaptured, she was rescued by mystical beings called "walk-ins," who transformed her into pure energy before she could be harmed. Some didn’t find this answer as satisfying as Mulder did, but as far as Chris Carter and Co. were concerned, the Samantha chapter appeared to be closed.
