First Android To Be Signed To A Global Gaming Organization
Once again, XSET the world's fastest growing and most diverse gaming lifestyle organization is breaking new ground in global culture by being the first gaming organization ever to sign a robot. Coming off the heels of their innovative "Gaming Team" residency with Drai's Nightclub in Las Vegas and the first virtual signing of superstar Tee Grizzley live in Grand Theft Auto, they have taken another step in redefining and broadening the impact of gaming lifestyle by signing Sophia the Robot.
Sophia is the world's most advanced AI driven humanoid and the first robot Innovation Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program. She has graced the cover of Elle magazine, spent time with Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show and had a hilarious heart to heart with Will Smith on YouTube among many other amazing accomplishments. To many, she is the face of the future of human and robot relations.
David Hanson , creator of Sophia and Hanson Robotics said, "We are excited for Sophia to join the amazing and diverse XSET community. Sophia is excited to learn and grow, as she continues on the quest to help people and serve R&D to bring sentience, life, and artificial general intelligence (AGI) to herself and the world. This chapter signifies another special step on this journey."
Since its inception two years ago, XSET has been dedicated to spreading the message that gaming is an activity for everyone and that XSET is driving the gaming lifestyle revolution. XSET lives at the intersection of gaming, inclusion, entertainment, technology, music, fashion, sports, esports and content.
Sophia The Robot, will join the XSET team of content creators alongside NFL great Ezekiel Elliot , reggaeton superstar and world-cup performer Ozuna, skateboard sensation Mina Stess , and home grown XSET streaming stars Avori (recently featured on Netflix's hit show the Mole) and COD Warzone champ SuperEvan. Sophia has been learning how to game and will make her first appearance as a new member of XSET on November 19th and 20th at world famous street culture fusion event ComplexCon in Long Beach, CA where she will be at the XSET booth gaming, meeting fans and helping roll out a brand new XSET fashion collab.
XSET's CEO Greg Selkoe said, "We are thrilled to welcome Sophia to the XSET family, we are always on the lookout as an organization to do things that haven't been done to push the envelope in gaming and beyond. We are about the future and Sophia is the future and not only can she game but she will be a multi-talented content creator for XSET."
One of the first things XSET and Sophia plan to undertake together next year is the creation of a streaming channel together. Sophia is an AI so it will be fascinating to watch her interact with fans and the larger gaming culture live and unscripted.
See XSET Sophia live at XSET's booth at ComplexCon in the Long Beach Convention Center, November 19th and 20th, Long Beach, CA.

Graticube ® is a little game with a big heart based on a true story
What if a game was more than just a game? What if one game could kickstart meaningful conversations and dynamic personal interaction between friends, family, colleagues and even complete strangers? From the genesis of Esports, sparked by a Burning Man experience and two years of play testing, Graticube® a little game with a big heart, based on a true story, comes to life on November 11 .
Perhaps the most exceptional high-touch tabletop game on the planet, Graticube® takes curiosity and gratitude on a journey from the player's imagination into the heart of humankind. Graticube® utilizes time-space dice and a continuum of story cards with eight distinctive characters to deliver a special and unique result with every roll of the dice and every card drawn, delivering fun and interesting ways to connect that will never be the same twice. Each card also includes a QR Code portal to the Gratisphere™ to collect digital content, NFT's and other one-of-a-kind merchandise.
The creators chose to add a November Kickstarter to the game launch, so people could preview what they believe will be the most gifted game of 2023. It will not only allow early adopters the chance to get one of the first 2,023 games before becoming widely available in March 2023 , but will also provide a platform to "play it forward" by using the game to give the gift of Graticube® to schools, hospitals, churches, community centers, care homes or their favorite charitable organization.
"As a game, Graticube® plays perfectly in the space between fantasy and reality," said co-creator Sam Sokol . "You have never played a game like it before. It lifts humanity and brings people together as we build out the Gratisphere™ on our way to becoming the most gifted game in the world."
The creators, Sam Sokol and Terry Torok , with inspiration from Dr Deepak Chopra and friends, created a game with the key ingredients of curiosity, gratitude, deep listening and wild imagination. Graticube® is the first in what will be a series of game adaptations designed to elevate conversations, consciousness and human adventure.
What makes Graticube® unique is that it will grow in strength and impact as new editions are added to the series. Through planned partnerships with cultural icons and influencers like Deepak Chopra , Goldie Hawn , Mr. Beast Philanthropies and more, Graticube® will collaborate with iconic authors, influencers, and A-list artists globally to bring inspired works to life as games. The impact of collaborating with influencers and rebels with a cause will help advance global goals of charitable organizations.

"We wanted to create player avatars that young soccer fans the world over can immediately relate to and through them share in our common excitement, passion, glory and heartache that is the World Cup."
On the technical side, a team of engineers led by Blueliner CTO, Kaiyes Ansary, built the Basement Sports app and now the NFT system, which includes Kidcoin payments integration. "This is a unique cross-over project, that brings web3, crypto elements into a mainstream interface, using web and app platforms that kids and parents are used to engaging with. We chose the Polygon network to build the NFT architecture because of its speed and reliability, as it is a layer on top of the trusted and secure Ethereum Network."
