Welcome back from the mid-year break. I hope it was filled with lots of gaming as recovery from the long semester and exams we all had to endure. This semester we have two theatres and hope to make good use of them so stay tuned. Don't forget to bring along handhelds and laptops to play other assorted games. Come along for free food and drink, and don't forget to bring your friends!

Date: Every Thursday excluding mid-semester break
Time: 2pm - 5:15pm
Venue: Lowe and Medley theatres, Redmond Barry

Tournaments will begin in week 2, and the schedule for the semester will be put up on the website soon. Be sure to come along to all the tournaments as there is a semester long ladder with top 3 places receiving prizes at the end as well as prizes for each individual tournament that is run.

What was the main colour of the Gravity Suit in Metroid Prime? In Mario Kart 64, driving through a question mark block got you an item. How many different items were there? If you know your video game trivia, you're going to love the third SEE trivia night!

Know people who think they know their stuff? Invite them and prove them wrong! Bring friends! Teams of up to 4 people! JB vouchers for the winners as well as jugs to be won each round!

There will also be some snacks provided for each table, but further food and drinks are BYO (In this case, Buy Your Own. ). There will be a break for dinner halfway through the rounds, and you will be able to purchase meals from the INU kitchen.

You must be over 18 for entrance into INU Bar.

Hey guys and gals,

Welcome to SEE for 2011! Hopefully you're looking forward to getting to know your fellow gamers and having some fun with us.

The best place to meet everyone is at our weekly meets from 2 -5pm every Tuesday in the Alice Hoy building in room 333. We'll post some directions to and photos of the room on Monday so you can spend less time looking for it and more time playing games!

After we pack up the weekly meet we'll head over to Midcity LAN on A'beckett St off Swanston St. If you're more into PC games than console games make sure you head down with us, we usually grab dinner somewhere at melbourne central afterwards as well.

After the successful introduction of the SEE Tournament Season last year, it's back again! We'll be playing a different game almost every week of the semester and points from winning these tournaments will contribute towards winning the entire season and the prizes with it! Tournaments will be held on both consoles and PCs, and we'll be releasing the full schedule next week.

Introduce yourself on the forums, and then jump on IRC (instructions in the IRC tab) to chat with everyone! When we're not physically meeting, IRC is the best place to catch up with people, find out about the latest SEE happenings, and enjoy regular links to the most hilarious the web has to offer.

We'll try our hardest to please everyone, so if you've got a game or a console you want to bring in to the Tuesday arvo meets feel free! We're limited by TVs and displays to some extent, but there's time to try lots of games in the 3 hour timeslot. If you have any suggestions or questions about anything, hit up the forums or come and chat with us on IRC.

Hope we see you soon!
