90% of the time i turn the flash around backwards and bounce it off the wall (or corner, which is even better). it's the only way to get directional light with a bounced flash, and it has a decently even illumination across the whole room. you're basically creating a massive 6 foot wide parabolic reflector positioned 10 feet behind the camera.
the big problem with this is that you cut the power of your flash by 200 to 400%, which can be a problem at 20 feet or more. if your walls are painted, you'll also get a color cast. of course, that's only really a problem if you're using film or don't know how to set white balance in shoop.
