I'd start by reading the tutorials and the manual... Read about all the Basic 3D commands... Read the tutorial at the top of this forum labled "My First Pong Game"... At the top of this page point to Community, then click Developer Network. On that page you should find dozens of tutorials to get you started...

...Well... I hope I helped...

The question is, why am I talking to myself? ...... And more importantly, why am I waiting for a reply?

Yep!
Start with something like a 3D pong/breakout/pacman.
Don't go for the full 3D action yet.

slow motion is a tough thing to program into a game. it is no way to start out. try making, a driving game, then a fps, then a 3rd, and then when you are comfortable with all that, then you can try the time distortion.

the left side of my head isn't bigger, the right side is just smaller

It's not really tough to program. Just multiply everything by a time value less than 1.0 and everything moves slowly.
