PowerPoint Karaoke; or, the most fun you can have with a meeting room and a projector.

A while ago, at the office, I skipped “beer o’clock” on a Friday afternoon to take a little disco nap before going to a party. This was before they got rid of the nap room — *sob*. Anyway, there I was, flaked out on a beanbag, when I was woken by peals of laughter. Unable to sleep, I went to see what was going on.
I found that my esteemed colleagues, after a few beers, had decided to play PowerPoint Karaoke.
Here are the rules:
- You will need a projector or large computer monitor. Beer is optional, but recommended.
- Open a browser and go to slideshare.net and thence to the tag list.
- Person A (the victim) chooses a tag, such as physics, web2.0, or love.
- Person B (anyone, for the first round) then chooses a specific slideshow from those available. The more horrific the design or random the subject matter, the better.
- Person A must stand up and give the presentation. Person B gets to click forward from slide to slide, setting the pace.
- When the presentation is finished, Person A becomes Person B, and gets to nominate a new Person A.
I strongly feel that this activity should be more widely appreciated. Go forth and enjoy!

This is awesome. I’d love to try it here but they don’t allow beer on the premises.
Hahhh, what a great idea. Must do it one day.
Also, I want to invent a game where you need to read a mission statement or similar corporate bumf of >500 words out loud and then describe what it actually means.
This is such a cool idea! Thanks for sharing it, I’ve blogged about it on the SlideShare blog: http://blog.slideshare.net/2008/09/05/slideshare-as-a-party-game/
That’s a great idea! We’ll love to do something like this in the Slideshare office itself ;)
