Mark and Jeremy are back to present a terrific audio story by Hard Drive editor Andy Holt titled Three Days in Hell: The E3 Diaries, originally written in June 2019. If you enjoy Hard Drive, you will definitely love Andy's satirical Hunter S. Thompson style journey through one of video games' largest trade events, complete with original music by Cory McConnell. You may also enjoy Mark and Jeremy riffing in the beginning on their idea for a podcast where they decide if movies really happened or not, but no promises there

Mark and Jeremy watch the 1993 Super Mario Bros film and they end the podcast. Truly truly truly thank you to everyone who has listened to this podcast over the last 2+ years. It has been an incredible blast and a journey. Let's make sure this isn't "goodbye forever." 

After more than two years, Mark and Jeremy have decide to call it a pretty good day on The Hard Drive Podcast. Listen to this episode to hear them eulogize the podcast, riff on the word "penultimate," and get incredibly sidetracked for the second-to-last time. Next week, we're watching the 1992 Super Mario Bros movie! And then? Only time will tell... To the bridge!

The thrilling conclusion to Mark and Jeremy's modern reboot of Captain N: The Game Master. Can Kevin murder Mega Man and steal back Princess Lana's love? Can Mother Brain secure the three boxes that contain her stuff? Can Jeremy get through reading in King Hippo's voice without destroying his vocal chords? 

Jeremy got that vaccine fever (horny for vaccines) for a few days, so we decided to take a week off, in fear that an extra loopy episode could turn our upcoming Part 3 into a 4-Parter. Woof. So here's an oldie from the Captain N days!  Pat from Castle Super Beast joins the podcast to talk about how goddamn fucked up Captain N: The Game Master is! Simon Belmont shoots himself in the ass with a love arrow, accidentally forcing him to fall in love with Mother Brain. Meanwhile, Mega Man and Kid Icarus meet another deeply fucked up cow. But most importantly, the gang fights, for about 5 seconds, Mr. Bones — a cool 80s skeleton man wearing a skeleton shirt. Mr. Bones fuckin rules, you guys. You're gonna love Mr. Bones.

Mark and Jeremy sit down to write the script for a dark, gritty reboot of Captain N: The Game Master. 30 years after leaving his childhood bedroom to enter Video Land, a depressed 46-year-old Kevin Keene still lives there. Can he win back Princess Lana's love? Or does she have eyes for Diddy Kong?

Mark and Jeremy play SKI SNIPER, a game where you just murder skiers in cold blood from afar with a sniper rifle. The game has absolutely no lore, so the boys are quick to fill in the blanks, discovering that the sniper is upset about all these skiers fucking his wife. By the end of the episode... well, let's just say this sniper's wife isn't gonna be so satisfied.

Mark an d Jeremy discuss an episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 in which Princess Toadstool challenges King Koopa to a presidential election! Koopa has to cheat using a nice guy potion, we meet Koopa's son Kooky von Koopa, and Mark and Jeremy break down the trailer for direct-to-dvd film Mafia Doctor.
