If anyone else finds the intro ads as annoying as I do, a small pointer. If you rename

2by3intro
matrixintro
Wat_in_the_East

to something else (like 2by3into_thanks_Ive_seen_it_4504_times_already_PASS) they won't play...

I just made a folder in the same directory where the movie files live and moved them into it.� Seemed easier.

Or:

- Rename each movie file, or;
- Change the file extension, or;
- Delete the movie folder...

Um... there's got to be at least one more option ;)

I thought to rename the folder might make the game crash. But it doesn't! Thanks for the tip.

I renamed the two startup movies and left the others just in case I had an autovictory or something

Matrix spends so much time and money making these opening movies and all you guys do is skip it!
