Sutekh

We're the Sydney Uni club dedicated to all things geek, from sci-fi and fantasy, pop culture and internet culture to all kinds of gaming, be it boardgaming, computer & video gaming or roleplaying.

Want to join? Come to any of our events and a committee member there will be able to help you out. Membership is $5 for Access card holders, but you can still attend our events as a non-member!

Looking for the forums? The club has an active community discussing everything from Doctor Who episodes to Steam releases, playing forum games like Mafia, debating issues, posting movie & game reviews, and helping out with Uni problems. And we're extra nice to new people. You'll need to register to post and to edit the wiki.

Want to find out about upcoming events? You can look for announcements here, join the mailing list or have a look on the Wiki. We also run a bunch of regular events like Beer and Cards, Pizza and Games and Screenings throughout the semester.

Want to find out more about the club and its culture? Browse through the Wiki, which includes Official articles about the club and its Sponsors, as well as bizarre comedy, club info and history and everything else Sutekh-related!

For the Week 1 Sukhast, Harvey and Finn are joined by Reg, Sutekh's VP and Functions Officer, and explain the club's Real Events (untainted by the mention of Superman Returns), as well as touching on many and various fascinating topics such as load-bearing hair, cross-overs, great ice days, The Geek Tour (on this Thursday!), Sutekh's Videogame Olympics, and Leo DiCaprio (*swoon*).

Howdy, all y'all Sutekhian boys and girls! It's time to saddle up for this week's major event - the first Geek Tour Of The City for this semester! There's a snake in my boots!

Time: Thursday March 11, 5pm-8pm.
Place: Manning Bar and elsewhere.

Sutekh membership entitles you to a discount at many stores throughout the city, and with our Geek Tour we offer you the chance to see them all! Meeting up at Manning Bar at around 5pm, our dashing and friendly Sponsorship Officer, Harvey, will lead a group of Sutekhers throughout the city during the late-night shopping period, for an evening of sponsor-riffic fun!

Don't worry if you're unable to make it to the first Geek Tour, as we'll be holding another one later in the semester (tentatively scheduled for Week 7). As an added bonus, any new members attending the Geek Tour have a chance to win a gift voucher to spend at any of our sponsors!

The Sukhast is here!

Every Friday of semester, we'll be casting a pod of unrefined geekery. Here for your appreciation is the zeroth episode, recorded during O-Week, in which the Sukhast takes its first steps towards greatness.
Your hosts Harvey, Sutekh's Sponsorship Officer, and Finn, some guy, meet to discuss such important subjects as:

• Political scandal
• Superman Returns
• Monster Trucks
• The appropriateness of devil's advocates in cults
• Kim Jong Il's love of Ginger Ale
• Sutekh Events. Kinda.

Howdy y'all,

I've just received an email from my contact at Kinokuniya, indicating that a couple of our members have been in their store with their membership cards, asking whether they get a discount there. Now, despite the fact that the Kino logo appears on the back of the card, Sutekh members do not get a discount when shopping at Kinokuniya. The sponsorship that Kino gives us takes the form of prize support for our events only.

That is not to say, of course, that you shouldn't shop there - it's a great store, and the weight of prizes they've donated over the years have provided a massive boon to the club (because otherwise, we'd be way more out of pocket at each event - prizes are expensive yo).

G'day Sutekh!
I bring you the weekly lineup for Sutekh Events for 1st Semester 2010. As you will notice, we've mixed up the days and times for some of them, so you'll have to memorise the schedule all over again!


Beer & Cards
Mondays, 4-6pm, Manning Bar

Start off the week with great company, a few card games, and of course a free beer (or fizzy non-alcoholic beverage of some sort). Playing of cards not mandatory.


Pop Culture Screening
Tuesdays, 1-2pm, Education Seminar Room 325

Ever wanted to check out that show everyone's been talking about, or catch up with those beloved shows from your youth? Then the Pop Culture Screening is for you! Week 1 will be a double of Invader Zim and Rocko's Modern Life, Week 2 will be a double of Blackadder and Black Books, and...I'll make a thread in General dedicated to the lineup.


Games @ Manning
Wednesdays, 2-4pm, Manning Bar

Video games on the Manning Bar projector...need I say more? Wii, N64, Guitar Hero, and many more on offer each and every week for anyone and everyone to play!


Thursday Night Gaming
Thursdays, 8pm-late, The Internet

Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 1 or 2, Source Mods, maybe even something not on Steam! Every Thursday night, join Sutekh for a night of shootybang (or other game genres). Know of a free or really cheap online multiplayer games? Please let us know!


Pizza & Games
Fridays, 6-10pm, Holme Building

Proud winner of Highly Commended non-Major Event, P&G is the perfect way to end a stressful week of Uni. Soft drinks for $1, pizzas for $5, plenty of games on offer, and of course great company. You can find us upstairs in the Holme Reading and Common rooms.

Our last Games Day before O-week is coming up this Wednesday 10th Feb. Once again it'll be from 10am-6pm in the Holme Reading Room.
BUT, if you'd like a break from games, our friendly neighourhood Secretary MAJ will be spending a couple of hours making this year's O-Week badges for the stall, and he'd appreciate some help. It will take place in Manning between 11am and 1pm, and MAJ can lead you there from Holme if you'd like to volunteer.
See you all there!

O-Week is only just over 3 weeks away and we're looking for volunteers to help run the stall!

If you're available at any point during O-Week (24-26 February) and you want to help our great club whilst meeting lovely new members, send me a PM with your availability through this link.

If for whatever reason you aren't at the stall in O-Week, you can still hang out at Manning playing games and socialising with any people we send your way!
