XSET Announces Collaboration with Red Sox
Gaming lifestyle organization XSET has announced its collaboration with Red Sox, a storied franchise with a rich history and an unparalleled legacy, to introduce the first of its kind activation, “XSET Day at Fenway Park”.
Through the one-day activation, XSET will host Fenway Park’s first-ever gaming lounge, open to all game goers, and provide the audience with the opportunity to compete, connect, and celebrate baseball before and during the Red Sox game. The lounge will have a wide variety of games available for spectators and enthusiasts alike, including the renowned baseball game, MLB The Show ’23. Ticket holders who purchase the special offer will receive an exclusive XSET designed Red Sox jersey. The jersey design highlights a Red ‘X’, paying homage to Roxbury, the birthplace of the original Royal Rooters fan club, and also representing XSET. Jerseys will be available in sizes Adult S-XL, with sizes distributed on a first come, first served, basis.
“Celebrating the convergence of gaming and the timeless allure of baseball, we are thrilled to team up with the iconic Red Sox for XSET Day at Fenway. This groundbreaking activation not only brings together two worlds that captivate millions of fans, but also showcases our shared commitment to pushing boundaries. Also, as a native of Jamaica Plain, I couldn’t be prouder to work with the Red Sox, a historical organization that means so much to the Boston community,” Greg Selkoe, CEO of XSET, said.
On the day of the event, XSET will create high-quality content to be displayed on the jumbotron leading up to the first pitch. This collaborative video will highlight iconic moments from the evolution of both organizations. XSET will work with House 17, the digital creative agency, to develop on-site content throughout the activation, captivating audiences with enthralling visuals and engaging experiences. With a dedicated video and production crew present, XSET will capture compelling content featuring XSET talent and event attendees.
“While gaming and esports are at the core of what we do, it’s important to emphasize that XSET is passionate about participation in team sports beyond the digital realm. We encourage people to get out and play, fostering a sense of camaraderie, competition, and physical activity. This collaboration with the Red Sox and Fenway Park serves as a powerful platform to showcase the multifaceted nature of XSET’s vision, uniting gaming enthusiasts with the broader world of sports and inspiring individuals to embrace both virtual and real-life athletic pursuits,” Wil Eddins, Chief Creative Officer at XSET, said.
Adding to the excitement, the event will feature a lineup of notable XSET talent including Avori, iDom, SuperEvan, Brycent, GodKu, Dom McLennon, SparklesQT, and DemiSux. The talent will be present, further enhancing the energy and entertainment value of the event.
XSET Day at Fenway Park promises to be an unprecedented fusion of gaming and baseball, showcasing the innovative spirit of XSET and the Red Sox’s commitment to embracing new experiences. This collaboration celebrates the shared passion for both industries, uniting fans in an immersive and thrilling event.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
