With this post: I've seen the light.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was just saying &amp;quot;nope, I'm safe&amp;quot; when suddenly I got to this part: &amp;quot;if you have an intro logo, movie, or animation, please give me a button to dismiss it!&amp;quot; ;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don't feel I should have to play a level again or play to a certain spot just to hear what I couldn't make out the last time.&lt;/p&gt;
