I think I typed my comment a little quickly, I will slow down for the rest of the week, even just for a moment or two. Time for a breath and a sip of coffee.

During Slow Down Week I bought 3 new games for my PS2 for the measly sum of £2.50: Silent Hill 1, Silent Hill 2 & Silent Hill 3 (being, surprisingly, the first 3 in the Silent Hill series).

Being the week that it was, and seeking to offer commentary pertinent to this particular blog entry, it has come to my realisation that even in the gaming world I like to be slow… hurrah!
I’m glad you liked the animation. Please contact adbusters.com for more from that artist. I didn’t create the animation, they did. As for more of my writing, you can sign up on the slow reminder list at http://www.slowdownnow.org and also visit http://www.SlightlyTrue.com.
