The 100: Get a Look at Lexa’s Big Fight Scene

On the 100, we’ve seen Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey) be merciless and unwavering when making decisions, we’ve seen her order executions and we’ve seen her push one particularly irksome Ice Nation representative out a window - but until now, we haven’t actually seen Lexa in a true fight.

That will notably change in this week’s new episode, “Watch the Thrones,” as Lexa takes on Roan (Zach McGowan) in a big, public battle, with plenty at stake.

IGN has an exclusive clip from the episode from this fight scene – a sequence it’s safe to say fans will be talking about afterwards. Check it out below!

I recently spoke to both Debnam-Carey and McGowan about filming their fight scene. Debnam-Carey noted it was important to finally see Lexa in action, "And actually prove her strength and the reason why she’s hailed as so strong as the Commander.”

In the meantime, the folks over at MAD Magazine have come up with a few possible reasons, and while we doubt the two heroes are throwing down over stinky guano or fake super-bulges, going over the list is still worth a few laughs.

We have your exclusive first look at the parody that will appear in Issue #538, which releases digitally February 12 and in print on February 23.

Sony VR Studio Head Steps Down

After working at Sony's London Studio for 17 years, Dave Ranyard has announced he's parting ways with the developer.

The studio head oversaw several PlayStation VR demos, including The London Heist and Streetluge. In addition to Sony's virtual reality efforts, Ranyard worked on The Getaway, as well as several titles for Wonderbook, Eyetoy and Singstar.

Ranyard is leaving the company to pursue new virtual reality projects in an independent capacity. "2016 is going to be the year of VR so it's the perfect time for me to take this step into independent development," Ranyard said in a statement (via GameInformer). "The emergence of a new medium like VR doesn't come along very often and I really want to be a part of this new world."
