During an early evening conference call last night I finished updating my PSP's firmware. Since I upgraded to 2.71, I could freely download and play the LocoRoco Demo.

With the other attendees scattered around the world and the conference room all to myself I fired up the game. The style, speed, and amazing quality reminded me why I bought a PSP. The presentation is slick, but also captures enough cheerful exuberance to give both Nintendo and Michael Eisner a toothache.

Too bad I can't play games and attend my other meetings. Seriously, that had to have been the best meeting I have contributed to in a while. I was able to lead my team as we discussed the project we are working on, analyzed the competitive landscape, and evaluated the best course of action to take for our client. With my mind freed from a deadly dose of PowerPoint, the ideas came in droves as I guided the giddy glob around the twisting, turning, and spiraling landscape.

I think I did pretty well for my first time. . .

Now I just need to practice the talking and playing for future demonstrations I may undertake.
