So far I've found Perth to be fucking expensive. The least rent of a shitty house could be $100 per week. Though wages are higher then Melbourne and Sydney but every damn thing is more expensive here in western Australia.

Nothing without references dude, Nothing. Friends working at coles talked to the manager then I was called, otherwise no chance. I am doing MBA from ECU which is $10,000/semester and is the cheapest in whole of Western Australia. UWA is like $18,000/semester. You tell me which is expensive? NSW, Victoria or WA?

Dude, my program is like $16000/yr and yeah, I kinda get what you're saying man. Even these goddamn odd jobs require freaking references. You wouldn't know anyone who works in cole's in Sydney now would you :D ? hahahahahahaha

Okay, so I just got an email from some 'Drexel University' (looked it up, apparently its a decent university) saying that I've been selected as a 'VIP Applicant' with 'special advantages'. So, uh, what gives? Anyone know what all this might be about?

@Blastwave
WTF?

Did you sign up somehwere on any educational website?

This only tends to happen when your credentials are out there.

And,

Did you read the email right? did it come from drexel.edu domain?

Make sure there is no sign of second party email forwarding or marketing.

if everything seems clear and a bit too real, shoot them an email from the university website and ask WTF MATE?

It was sent from [email protected]. And I have an account at CollegeBoard, the US people who do the SAT.

Khair, I did a quick Google search and apparently this is some sort of random marketing procedure or something. :s

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
