Check Out This Incredible Broken Age Documentary
The Double Fine Adventure Documentary series, which chronicles the entire development of Broken Age, is now free for everyone. The 2 Player Productions series was previously only available to folks who backed Broken Age (then called Double Fine Adventure) on Kickstarter back in 2012.
Currently, 10 of the episodes of the series are free, with the rest being doled out every Tuesday and Thursday. Check out the entire playlist (which is continually updated) here. The series starts with the 2012 Kickstarter campaign, and the free episodes are currently at the point in development where Double Fine made the decision to split the game in two. The episodes will be delivered to the public every week leading up to the April 28 release of Broken Age Act 2.
Report: Game of Thrones Remake for Indian TV
With Game of Thrones' Season 5 premiere on the horizon, a report has surfaced claiming Sony Entertainment TV is remaking the hit fantasy series for Indian television.
The report comes from Pakastani news outlet Ary News (via Winter is Coming). According to the site, Sony's series will be titled Rani Mahal, and like the HBO series, will follow George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice book series.
And according to Dramatize, Rani Mahal will actually be set in India in 1857 (the year of the Indian Rebellion), which would suggest there won't be fantasy elements involved. It should be noted that "Rani Mahal" is also the name of a royal palace in the city of Jhansi that was damaged by British bombardment during the 1857 rebellion.
Hearthstone’s Blackrock Mountain Dropping Early April
Blackrock Mountain, the next single-player-focused adventure for Blizzard's Hearthstone, will kick off in the first week of April.
The adventure is comprised of five wings, with a new wing opening each week. The first wing of Blackrock Mountain will go live on April 2 in the United States, and April 3 in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
Each wing consists of a series of single-player boss encounters - much like Curse of Naxxramas - and players are rewarded with new cards for each boss defeated. The adventure as a whole will introduce 31 new cards, including two new class cards for each of the nine classes, and will feature a host of iconic World of Warcraft villains - including Nefarian.

7 Dream WrestleMania Matches that Never Happened
With WrestleMania 31 almost upon us, we're looking back at some of the 'Mania matches that could have been. Some of these dream pairings were epic confrontations that seemed to be in the works for wrestling's "Grandest Stage of Them All," but then somehow never happened. Others are just phantom matches that fans have been dreaming of and talking about for years.
Ranking Undertaker's WrestleMania Matches
So with Bray Wyatt on a collision course with the returning Undertaker, Sting wrestling his first ever WWE match against Triple H, and John Cena looking to defeat the uncrushable Rusev for the U.S. title, here's a look at a few squandered opportunities, storyline flubs, and dream matches that simply never came to pass.
Spinoff Directors Will Be at Star Wars Celebration 2015
Gareth Edwards, director of Star Wars: Rogue One, and Josh Trank, who will direct a future Star Wars spinoff film, will both be speaking at Star Wars Celebration next month.
As detailed at Star Wars.com, the two directors will participate in a discussion about "how the teams came together and are collaborating to conceive and create the upcoming stand-alone films in the galaxy far, far away."
The discussion will take place on Sunday, April 19 from 11am-12pm PT.
Edwards' Rogue One opens December 16, 2016. The standalone film stars Oscar nominee Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), with The Dark Knight Rises' Ben Mendelsohn also reportedly being eyed for a role in the film.
Dota 2 The International 5 Tickets on Sale Tomorrow
If you have $99 dollars and a bit of spare time tomorrow, you can nab tickets to the largest Dota 2 tournament in the world.
The International 5 will return to Key Arena in Seattle this year from August 3-8. Tickets can be purchased here for $99 USD, but not until tomorrow, March 27 at 10am PDT (1pm EDT, 5pm GMT, 4am AET on March 28). If you're busy at that time, a second wave of tickets will be made available on March 27 at 10pm PDT (or March 28 at 1am EDT, 5am GMT, 4pm AET).
Last year's tournament sold out in less than one hour. Seeing as the venue is the same and Dota's numbers have only grown since 2014, you'll probably need to move fast (swift as the wolves of Icewrack!) if you want to secure tickets.
Killer Instinct Hisako Trailer Teases Cinder
Iron Galaxy is rolling out another Killer Instinct character this week, and teasing the next one in the process.
The ghostly warrior Hisako will be available tomorrow for Ultra Edition owners, and next Thursday for those who got the Combo Breaker Edition. At the very end of the Hisako release trailer, we get a brief glimpse of the next roster addition: Cinder.
Iron Galaxy has made a habit of using one character's trailer to tease the next one, like when Golem was shown off at the end of Omen's trailer. Hisako herself was detailed at PAX East, after being revealed in yet another character's trailer. The 19-year-old spirit woman uses her father's naginata for long-range attacks, and relies heavily on counter-attacks.
