MIXER Team DammitRooster Stacks Up For The Troops in NYC
The fireworks may no longer be exploding in the skies, but that doesn’t mean the July 4th holiday is over. Coming out of America’s birthday, Stack Director Stephanie Owens along with volunteers from Stack Up gathered together under the roof of Microsoft’s store for a very special event. The flagship store for the company, the NYC Microsoft Store boasts a secret area where few have access too, but has great power: The eSports and Gaming Studio. Stack Up and DammmitRooster alo

The Stacks: Boston Stacks Up at Jamaica Plain VA!
The Boston Stack Debuts Its Monthly Game Events at Local VAs! Back at PAX East, Boston Stack Leads Ben Irr and Dylan Connolly learned about how a Stack out in California had been holding gaming events at their local VA for the past four months. The Stack had started out with modest, single console events that gradually grew to sizable four console tournaments; something that the local veterans had come to look forward to every month. Back in April, Connolly and Irr decided to

The Stacks – Boston Stacks Up for a COD WW2 Event!
The Boston Stack Celebrates Its Most Heavily-Attended Event Outside PAX East! Way back in November, the Boston Stack leads had started planning with their friends at Microsoft to hold a big event in their store at the start of the new year.

The Stacks – Boston Stacks Up at Regal Fenway
Despite its name, the Boston chapter of the Stacks seems more like the New England Stack. Members live hundreds of miles from one another, from New Hampshire to Rhode Island. So while the Boston Stack is proud to actively participate in their community, the sparsity of their members make it difficult to attend the regular events. Over the past six months, the Co-Leads Ben and Tanner have struggled to show off red shirt support at events. Fortunately, with a little help from h

The Stacks – Queens Stacks Up for VR with Microsoft!
On Sunday, March 26th the Queens chapter of The Stacks headed out to the Huntington, Long Island, Microsoft Store for a look at the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The store provided a table for the Stack, so we could hand out information cards and spread the word about Stack-Up. At the same time, the store had an Oculus Rift demo for all comers, so as to attract more foot traffic. Wladyslaw Labuda, a filmmaker from Poland came to help, and took footage of the event for what we hop

call to arms san fran stacks up
May 7, 2016 at 1000 hours, the San Francisco Bay Area Stack hosted their Call to Arms event. It was a rainy and dreary day which would put a damper on any outside activities. Prior to the event, Anthony and Randi spent many hours prepping the backyard with new mulch and laying down artificial grass to better accommodate guests. However, this did not deter the event from being successful. The weather did help keep the house cool for all the guests. Shortly after 1100 hours, th

LA Stack Special Preview of the Unknowns
The Stacks Los Angeles is a community of Angelenos, and as such, some of our activities are the things I put in the category of “Only in LA”. Our friends at IAVA gave us the incredible opportunity to watch a screening of ‘The Unknowns‘ at the New York Film Academy’s screening room on the Warner Brothers lot. The documentary detailed the amazingly dedicated soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. These soldiers constantly push themselves to their mental and physica

The people in this photo have represented Stack-Up since the beginning. Jake (Left) George (Middle left) and John (Right) always love hearing when I come in and tell them something new happening in the Stack-Up world. When I walked into GameStop to tell them I wanted to talk during their midnight release of “The Division,” they said yes before I could finish the sentence! They helped me set up a raffle where we gave away 3 Stack-Up shirts. We had a little over 45 people sign

raleigh stack event
February 24th, 2016 We all know the stereo-type that folks have when it comes to the Gaming Community. Everyone outside of the community pictures overweight guys with fedoras and neckbeards playing in their mom’s basement and yelling at kids on Xbox. The flip-side to that is the view those inside the Community have, that we are all badass Night-Elfs, Orcs, Assassins, and Mages saving the infinite universes from the diabolical schemes of one villain after another.
