Click on the keyboard twice, and enter the password "reload" to get to the new material. There's QuickTime VRs, on the set shots and most likely a slew of new hidden stuff. Happy searching."

  2. Matrix book preview by prototype · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you picked up the Matrix redux DVD, it contains a TON of material on the movie and previews of the upcoming ones.

    On the site play the shockwave game and once you get through the various stages you're given a password to access the Matrix book preview (which they discuss on the DVD). The book contains tons of pics and stuff from the movies, the anime shorts, storyboards and other great stuff.

    You can access the book preview URL directly here:

    Enjoy!

      That Matrix Revisited DVD is a trip... they licensed four tracks of my music and hearing Keanu doing a voice-over on one of them is downright freaky (in his wooden monotone).

      Believe it or not, that movie has a real cult following.

      Oh, and I had been using the name "Simulacra" long before Matrix came out...

      Realistically, you would have to be quite a fan to appreciate "Revisited."

  3. Another Code by Twiki · · Score: 4, Informative

    On the binary code entry screen, 11000 gets you another hidden interview. Any other binary codes?

    I have no link since it's all Flash, but here's how to get to it:

    - Once you type in 'Reload' to get to the Reloaded area, you must choose Enhanced Version
    - On the top right, there's a little vertical bar with a yellow light. This is the Option bar, click it once to expand.
    - Once expanded, click once on the grey square just to the right of the 'HTML Version' button.
    - Click the green square you just opened up, and the binary entry terminal drops down.

    Enjoy!

    Coming Summer 2003... They had to reshoot all the shots that had Aaliyah with Jada Pinckett-Smith, and plus the Oracle died (dunno what they're doing about that...)

  6. More Hacking by harvardian · · Score: 4, Informative
    Once you get to the flash panel after typing reload into the keyboard, click on the panel pull-out that's on the far right. Click on the small button to the right of "HTML version" twice. You get a panel asking for binary input. Here are the codes:

    • 11011011: a Quicktime VR of something in some ship
    • 10110110: an interview with the stunt coordinator
    • 00011000: an interview with a concept illustrator

    And yes, I did try all 256 codes :-P The interviews are pretty short and the VR totally unrevealing, so this secret was kind of lame.
