^^^^^ what he said.

Quote from Furyo

A friend of mine is currently applying for permanent residency status in Canada (not Kleineh, guys ) and he's now in his late 30s. His english isn't so good. Guess what? All these things add up as points on a government grid that declares him eligible or not. And now he's not certain to get it because he waited that long before applying. Having a degree would make him a certain candidate.

slightly off-topic, but... is he in Quebec? Cause then he should not be afraid about english it doesnt really matter that much for quebec... (send me a steam message or something as response, dont wanna derail this tread)

What's Ghost

Can't.

Wait.

this is always a tricky thing to justify to an employer "hey can i get those screenshots in hi-res without the logo so that i can put them in my portfolio and put myself out on the job market again?"

I find the thing with the boxes quite distracting and the fonts you are using aren't very easy to read... made a little quick doodle in photoshop ...just an idea on how to make things a bit easier on the eye.. or if you dont like this kind of graphical style i guess you could just leave out the squares as they serve no real purpose and are confusing.. i would also suggest to change the font you are using to highlight your position on the main page. it has this tiny little "inside glow" and it makes it a bit painful to read.

Square Enix Execs Take Self-Imposed Pay Cut

Financial forecasts slashed, stocks plunging. Times are hard for Japanese role-playing-game maker Square Enix.

While some other execs might pass the buck and make cuts everywhere except for their own salaries, Square Enix's Yoichi Wada is not some other exec.

In a recently released briefing from last month, Wada explained, "In recognition of the latest results, we're cutting the remuneration of three executive directors by 15 percent. The three directors are myself, our Vice-President Keiji Honda, and Director and Chief Financial Officer Yosuke Matsuda. This reduction is for an indefinite period. In the meantime, we intend to stand up straight and push ahead with reforms."

Sure, Wada makes gobs of money. Even with the 15 percent cut, he still probably makes gobs of money — just percent less gobs. But seeing an exec stand up and show he's willing to take a hit for the company does offer fuzzy feelings. Imperial Hot? No, Imperial Heart.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

More investors back Square-Eidos bid

Key Eidos shareholders are continuing to flock to the Square Enix bid for the company, with another major investor now confirmed as backing the deal.

Pioneer Investment Management Ltd has agreed to put its weight behind the acquisition, bringing a block of 27.2 million shares - just over 10 per cent of the issued share capital - to the table.

That means that the SQEX holding company now has the support of around 123 million shares, including those covered by a letter of intent, which equates to almost 47 per cent of the issued share capital.

Other major shareholders, including Warner Bros with its 20 per cent stake, have already agreed to the deal which offered GBP 84.3 million for the company in total, which is equal to 32 pence per share.

Square acquisition of Eidos picks up speed

Square Enix has bought a significant number of shares in Eidos as its acquisition of the Tomb Raider publisher gathers pace.

Insight Investment Management and Pioneer Investment Management have sold approximately 11.13 per cent of the issued share capital to Square Enix, at the price of 32 pence per share.

Pioneer had already backed the acquisition deal, as has Warner Bros. and Legal & General Investment Manager.

According to Square Enix, it now has "irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the EGM in respect of, in aggregate 84,947,489 Eidos Shares representing 32.23 per cent of the existing share capital of Eidos."

Square revealed the Eidos offer earlier this month, with the publisher hoping to increase its presence in the West.

Valuable Eidos properties include Tomb Raider, Hitman and Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.

Well they are good references actually on how to make a successful portfolio. I think if you look at those sites and concentrate on not even just the quality of the work itself but how the work is presented you will get a better idea of what is expected by companies.
