Well I'm pretty sure he knows that pressing escape skips the intro movies. Perhaps like many people, he finds it annoying to have to do it everytime he loads the game. And if you mod the game and need to restart often, it becomes an annoying little chore.

I hate the way games insist of bombarding you with dozens of stupid and crappy intro movies and idents whenever you load up a game, even if you've had it for months, years even. Could you imagine starting up your car in the morning and having a 'Made by Ford' and 'Tires provided by Good-Year', and 'Sold by Barry's Almost New and not at all Dodgy Motors' promotional movies playing over the dashboard display or radio before you can even start the engine? You'd want to smash the radio up. Or run over an old lady or something.

Pretentious. That's what it is. If we want to know who provides the sound system for a game, we'll click on a link of credits when we're utterly bored.
