Hello Everyone, it has been a while.

I hope all is well with each and every one of you. I wish nothing but healthy and positive vibes to you, you family, and friends during these tough times.

At this moment, the entire staff of Teh Lunchbox Publications is trying to experiment with different methods and ways to connect with every one of you. We are pushing the boundaries of our websites, Twitch channel, and our social media platforms to make sure you are well informed with our news articles and podcasts and entertained with our content and live broadcasts.

The next plan hopefully is to team up with various freelance writers to help cover topics we are unfamiliar on. When we get ourselves together, we plan to contact the community and hope people are interested in writing for us. Also, you all have been asking for this and it is coming folks. Our official company Discord channel will be on the way!

The process of growth is slowly but steady for us, but we all know it is going to be worth it in the end.

So until next time, stay strong, healthy, smart and of course, stay frosty.

It’s been reported that Sucker Punch is taking their beloved title to the big screen, teaming up with Sony Pictures. The director on helm with this project is none other than Chad Stahelski, whose credits include the John Wick movies, need we say more?

Macro purchase for Microsoft

One of the biggest deals in gaming has officially happened. Microsoft now owns Bethesda through their Zenimax purchase. This means game series like Fallout, Doom, and The Elder Scrolls are now part of the Microsoft family.

It remains unclear what this means for the future of Bethesda, it could mean more Xbox exclusives, more support for bigger and quicker releases with more resources. However, this does most likely mean good news for Game Pass owners as Bethesda games will most likely hit the Game Pass service soon.

No matter how people may feel about the purchase, here’s hoping that the purchase does lead to some exciting and positive news for Bethesda going forward.

Yesterday, we were able to share with you all the posters for the upcoming Warner Bros. remake of the ’90s Mortal Kombat movie franchise.

The studio finally released the trailer for the upcoming movie, which you can watch below, but hold on!

The trailer isn’t holding back on the amount of blood, gore, and violence the movie will have. This trailer is NFSW (Not Safe For Work) and after all, the Mortal Kombat series is rated M for Mature for a reason.

Check it out!

Warner Bros. official synopsis:

“MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family’s safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?”

The movie will star Ludi Lin (Power Rangers, Aquaman) as Liu Kang, Max Huang (The Foreigner, Kingsman: The Secret Service) as Kung Lao, Tadanobu Asano (Thor: Ragnarok, Detective Chinatown 3) as Raiden, Josh Lawson (Long Story Short, Bombshell) as Kano, Jessica McNamee (The Meg, Into the Dark) as Sonya, Chin Han (Skyscraper, Ghost in the Shell) as Shang Tsung, Mehcad Brooks (CW’s Supergirl, A Fall from Grace) as Jax, Sisi Stringer (Children of the Corn, Bloody Hell) as Mileena, Lewis Tan (Showtime’s Warrior, Netflix’s Iron Fist) as Cole Young, and Joe Taslim (The Swordsman, The Night Comes for Us) as Sub-Zero.

Viking Survival with Friends

Coffee Stain Studios has launched their newest early access title Valheim. This game may not impress graphically but is a load of fun in every other aspect. With a crafting system similar to their other recent title Satisfactory, a focused combat system, and Norse mythology to coat it all results in a very satisfying gameplay experience.

Having already played the game with friends, it has been a blast. Even set backs like death don’t ruin much of the fun to be had. The game doesn’t hold your hand but gives you hints on what to do, while letting you play however you want to. The combat itself holds strong, with simple attack and blocking mechanics that are enhanced through crafting different gear. All this really comes together for MMO-like boss battles. Having friends at the ready only enhances the experience, allowing up to ten players per server to really up the party factor.

While the textures are low quality at the moment, the attention to detail is astounding, from the water, to how smoke moves and even the sails on your boats. Small inclusions like that help make this still be a breath taking experience. The game is available on Steam for $19.99, pick it up for a good time.

Who will be King of the Monsters?

That is the question for Warner Brothers and Legendary Picture’s next installment in their MonsterVerse movie series, Godzilla vs. Kong.

The last movie these two were featured together in was King Kong vs. Godzilla back in 1962. After various Easter Eggs and post-credit scenes in the past MonsterVerse movies (such as 2014’s Godzilla, 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, and 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters), we are finally going to get the fight we’ve all been waiting for.

Godzilla and King Kong go toe-to-toe against one another as the secret scientific organization, Monarch, races to uncover the truth of these Titan’s pasts. Only one Titan will be left standing, but who will it be?

Godzilla vs. Kong will be available in theaters and through HBO Max on March 26, 2021. It’s directed by Adam Wingard and stars actors Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Kyle Chandler, Brian Tyree Henry, and Zhang Ziyi.
