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!

The promised epic movie outing is happening!

Yes, this Thursday 12th August we're bringing you a discount outing to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. The insane comic book is brought to the big screen by the genius behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright. If that doesn't make you want to see this, I don't know what will (except perhaps the trailer).

Tickets will be $5 for Access and $10 for non-Access. We will be selling them from tomorrow around Manning, and there will be a limited number available. We will also be selling them on the night.

The session is at 6:40, but please arrive at 6pm or soon after so we can give everyone their tickets.

Yes!

It's second semester, and there's no Sukhast anymore.
Instead, during the "Sutekh Fun-Time Happy Hour" Harvey, Hat Guy & Reg discuss the Tuesday Screenings and show undue suspicion of virgin births before turning to Inception: the Last Shot, "Dream Inner-Ears", and how Cillian Murphy was Keyser Söze the whole time.
Then something goes wrong and that Finn guy turns up again. Flossy R. R. Finklestein, "I'll Cry When I'm Dead" by Whack-Tangent-Tastic and midgets both evil and benign all feature.

A Wild Library Catalogue has Appeared.

You use browse on it. It's Super Effective!

A Wild Library has been defeated. Gain 200xp.

You Learned Borrow!


After much work on Al's part and much procrastination on mine. We have an awesome online catalogue for the Library. If you don't see the tab up the top or can't be bothered looking that far up your screen. Click here.

The Library Catalogue is a culmination of the work of the Previous years Committee and the Hard work of our excellent Web Officer this year, KingAl.

What it allows is the perusal of the contents of the SUTEKH Library from the comfort of your own home/a computer. Using the site you can "order" books from the Library which can be picked up from the nearest SUTEKH event if you are unable to attend the Library open times.

Also usefully it allows SUTEKHers to post reviews of the books that they have borrowed from the Library which will hopefully increase a good books circulation or give an indication of an atrocious book. If there are books in the catalogue that you have read or perchance donated then you can easily help us by filling out a review or two. Or add an image to the some of the books without them.

Anyway, have fun in the Library.

Love,

Committee 2010

It's our second Holiday Games Day!
This Tuesday we bring you part 2 of our critically-acclaimed Games Day Quadrilogy. It will be held downstairs in the Holme Building (just past the library) for a whopping 8 (or is it 9) hours! The library will be open all day, giving you all access to our impressive range of board and card games. And feel free to bring your personal favourites, too.
Now with Facebook Event!
See you all there!

That's right, we're holding Holiday Game Days during the Winter break, all because we love each and every one of you!

Our first one will be this Monday the 28th June from 10am to 3pm in the Holme Reading Room. This first one will have to be cut short, as SUAnime have the Reading Room booked after 3. But hey, they're showing a movie afterward, so there's no reason you can't stick around for that.
See you all there!

In the semester's final Sukhast, and in light of the latest Ordinary General Meeting, Finn & Harvey reflect on the great OGMs of the past. Recommendations are made regarding the necessary preparations, but it's already too late.
They also discuss kidneys as a cipher for all other internal organs and heavy metal as an extenuating circumstance until a heart-in-mouth cliffhanger ending that'll leave you fearing for the future of the Sukhast itself.
