Gaming partners for the GameStop NFT marketplace includeIlluvium, Gods Unchained, Guild of Guardians, PlanetQuestandEmberSword.

“Some of the biggest Web3 games in the world are being built on Immutable X, with more being announced soon. Immutable X is a leading layer 2 Ethereum scaling solution coming soon to the GameStop NFT marketplace,” GameStop’s website reads.

The company said Immutable X offers 100% gas-free and carbon-neutral minting and trading of NFTs and will help GameStop offer access to “millions of world-class gaming assets.”

Along with a list of gaming-related NFTs, an image of upcoming NFTs to be added to the GameStop NFT marketplace also includesVeeFriends, the popular NFT collection fromGary Veethatincludesmore than60,000 NFTs across two series.

VeeFriends Series 1 ranks 11th in all-time sales volume for NFTs with $554.3 million in sales, according to data fromCryptoSlam. VeeFriends Series 2 ranks 73rd with sales volume of $75.9 million.

VeeFriendstweetedin February that Immutable and GameStop were “doing big things!”

Why It’s Important:With $3.5 million in sales volume on the GameStop NFT marketplace in its first two days, the companypassedthe all-time sales volume of the Coinbase NFT marketplace fromCoinbase Global Inc. The Coinbase NFT marketplace publicly launched in May.

Research from GameStop blog Gmedd shows the GameStop NFT marketplace saw volume pass $4 million in its first three days.

The GameStop marketplace launched with more than200 collections and over 50,000 NFTs available on its platform.

The additional gaming-related NFTs could help GameStop distance itself in the NFT marketplace space, which is dominated by OpenSea.The video game industry is one sector that is expected to benefit from NFTs and GameStop’s past experience and relationships in the sector could help it become a go-to for gaming NFTs in the future.

The addition of VeeFriends could give GameStop some name recognition from one of the most popular NFT collectionsand see public support from VeeFriends founderGary Vee.

GME Price Action: GameStop shares are down1.18% to $40.410on Thursday afternoon.

Alex in Wonderland
A figure, Alex, stands mostly naked in the midst of a physical and psychological maelstrom. He is clad only in nostalgic 80’s era socks, on a tenuous island between active waters and a variety of shark denizens. Sharks on the right side of the image are all beached, including a shark with a quartz crystal snout, an orange shark wrapped in a life buoy, and a shark further in the distance wearing an 80’s style shirt with the number “88”. On the left side is the largest shark, wearing bright glossy red lipstick and brandishing prominent teeth with braces. She is cordoned off from the figure by a roped float divider, and within her thought bubble is a warning symbol. Behind the figure, hovering in the air, are Grey aliens emerging from the distance, out of a series of elliptical UFO shaped interdimensional membranes. The Greys take on the visual form of spermazoa ostensibly impregnating the interdimensional thresholds. As is typical, these Greys inhabit a zone just behind the unconscious topology of Alex’s dissociative mind. Though Alex’s bottom half is representative, his top half mutates into a psychological cornucopia. In a manner akin to “Auto-Erotic Sphinx”, a predecessor work, the figure has self suctioned—an act of sensual infatuation, enjoyment, and exploration. Upward exists the figure’s primary conscious eye, adorned with a revolutionary beret emblazoned with a Bitcoin badge. The figure’s summit features the nose of a fighter jet facing off against video game Bullet Bills, one of whom is marked by a communist North Korean star. A cropped section of a UFO observes the contest. Alex’s mind branches both left and right. To the left is more singular embodied consciousness, manifesting two eyes and a Ganesh trunk grasping crayons. The right branch dissociates upward diagonally, emerging into an array of eyes, faces, teeth, tail, a unicorn horn, and much more—all of which participate in expressing his unconscious being; a democracy of psychic factions representing thought impressions and associations. All illumination and darkness– fernal, infernal, high consciousness and corporeal underbelly–reside in this realm. In the distance are relatively languid, light clouds, and against the firmament hovers a colossal distant eye peering over the scene and far beyond. This painting possesses underlying genetic traits with previous works such as “Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys”, “Dionysus”, and “Fuku-Shiva”. The work serves also as a nod to an earlier period of art inspiration during late teens and early twenties— born out of the nakedness, vulnerability, curiosity, and wonder inherent to coming of age and all subsequent psychedelic revelation.
