Episode 16: Without a Crew and a Paddle (January 21st, 2011)
Listen in!
On this episode of Directional Influence, Rapture chills with D Disciple and Nakat to talk about whatever the hell we want! We discuss news about a rumored Nintendo vs Capcom game, egos in competitive Smash, then have a full interview with Nakat himself. Get the lowdown on the latest from DI by listening in! We've got cookies, too. Not really, though.

I just wanted to quickly posted before the release of tomorrow's show. I want to thank everyone that has been listening thus far. We've already managed over one thousand hits on some episodes and each one has accumulated at least several hundred since they've been released. So at least someone is listening. :)

Anyway, tonight's show is going to be laid back with a tournament experience and some humor thrown in, definitely an episode worth just relaxing to and chilling.

We'll be releasing that episode, number 17, this afternoon, so stay tuned!

Update!

Episode 19: Show Me Your DI (February 11th, 2011)

This week on Directional Influence, Rapture pulls out all the stops on The Rundown, giving a short notice about Pound 5, as well as a review of the official Project M demo. Then, Rapture is joined on The Spotlight by Youko of Show Me Your News, where they go down the origins, history, highs, and lows of the veteran podcaster and his gaming show. Also, a special shoutout goes to Esca, who we are all keeping in our thoughts and prayers and are hoping for a speedy recovery. We apologize that we did not end up covering it in the show.

Episode 20: They Think We're Crazy (February 15th, 2011)
Listen in!
Episode 20 of Directional Influence features the brand new song from Neo titled, "P5in' It", the anthem for the upcoming Pound 5 event in Arlington, VA. After that, the crew sits down with JCaesar, Shadic and SMK of Project:M to talk about the P:M demo and what's new for the team. Due to such a long recording time, the rest of the show features outtakes from what would have normally not made it into the final cut, including appearances by JoWii, vVv Cheese and Alex Strife. Music provided by Neo and Stemage.

Episode 21 - The Crew Got Pounded (February 22nd, 2011)
Listen in!
Pound 5 has surpassed us. It has come and gone. Will and PD went and we are sure they are as sleep deprived as anyone could be, so this week Rapture is joined by Nakat to talk about the finale to the Pound series. We cover the entirety of the event and discuss all the highs and lows of it. Unfortunately, we did not cover too much of Melee, but, do not be disappointed! Next week, we will have a very special guest to discuss the Melee competition at Pound 5 extensively and he goes by the name of Hungrybox.

Hmmm, idk, a lot of people just like to listen, we aren't really heavy on the commenting, which sucks but I understand a lot of people just download and go to listen whenever they can. It'd be nice to have more comments, but whatever works for people is whatever works for people, I guess. Also, thanks for the support, it does really get appreciated. If anything, spread the word, get people to listen and send us feedback, that's what we love and want the most. :)

Also, I may be doing a Let's Play series...not sure yet, but if anyone would watch that, let me know.

This week on Directional Influence, Matt and Dakota are joined by Hungrybox to discuss his point of view on the last Pound melee competition. He gives us an in-depth look at his ride to his third place finishes, as well as his experiences there and what he's looking forward to in the future.

Glad to have been in this first video. ^^

You guys should commentate french Brawl matches too (Leon, Glutonny, etc.). They have someone who records all the tournament videos in France in HD, and it's usually some pretty amazing matches.

I suggest you contact Yami/Yamahou (the recorder), he can surely provide you with videos and help you out. =)
