Microcenter has already beat us. I usually buy this stuff, it tastes decent and freaks people out when I pull it out of my backpack and start chugging it.

just so dang popular? As pharmacists/future pharmacists can we capitalize on this stupid pre-teen fad?

sorry guess im still a tweenager. I love true blood and vampire diaries.

hate twilight though. I think that kristen steward character is dimensionless and depends on a man/vampire/wolf/man thing for everything......that is not a positive role model for children.
 
Don't worry, zombies will soon make a comeback. We're just on the wrong side of the zombie-vampire spectrum right now.
 
On a side note. BUY the origional Dracula. It is an awesome book.😀
 
Does Frankenstein get no love. Wtf?

Not sure why Wegmans got lumped in there with the other retail chains; they actually adequately staff their pharmacies and run them properly. If retail pharmacy were a zombie movie, Wegmans would be the badass with a shotgun in one hand and a viking axe in the other, coming in and tearing **** up at the end of the movie deus ex machina style.
 
Oh, and to the OP -

Why are vampires popular? Well, why was Fraggle Rock popular? Why were Power Rangers popular? Why was Pokemon popular? Because kids and teenagers are ****ing stupid, that's why.

Dude, everyone knows that you need a flamethrower to kill a zombie. The axe isn't going to do anything other than make them angry.

Flamethrowers are in aisle 12B. Wegmans came prepared for this ****. And if you can chop their head off with one good axe swing, that'll do a whole lot more than just piss them off.

After playing Left 4 Dead 2 way to much....clearly an ak-47 with a laser sight is the best weapon. Military sniper with laser sight is good, too.

Until you run out of ammo. Unlimited ammo on the battle axe.

You can carry an axe with your gun. You get a primary and secondary weapon.

You also only get three accomplices with which to fight off the entire zombie apocalypse. Four people against an entire population of the undead? Yeah, that's adequate staffing. Apparently Valve got their ideas from Tom Ryan.

If only L4D2 had Gordon Freeman in it.

That's still better than, say, Resident Evil. Or hell, you had to take down the Nazis AND their zombie army in Wolfenstein. Zombie-fighters now are better off than they ever have been.

Wolfenstein is still around? I remember playing it back when it came on floppies. :laugh: Though X-COM UFO game was by far the best game of that era. 👍

It's still around, but it hasn't improved much. Yahtzee Croshaw of Zero Punctuation fame thrashed the game pretty good in his review.

Wait, was x-com the game where you took turns against the aliens that were invading, and each member of your team could only move a certain number of squares?

Yep. 🙂 I am glad I am not the only one who remembers. 👍 I think new games are all about visuals and not as fun as those old ones... but maybe I am old and nostalgic. And the last time I got a new computer game was 1998 anyway. :laugh:

Dang, you must be as old as me. :laugh: Wolvinestine, the orginal doom, I remember how all the death matches took over the student computer center back in 94. Then it was Heretic, Hexen, starcraft. Hey, I still got the starcraft CD laying around somewhere.

How many remember. Sim Ant? Now that was a game 😀.
 
I remember 14k modems! I also remember when schools had all Apple computers! I remember the first AOL and Compuserve. I remember MSN. I remember NetMeeting and telnet. I remember typing a document in DOS and printing it out on the dot matrix printer. Word.

No, Oregon Trail. Now, THAT was a game. I use to never buy any food, just 200 bullets, and go hunting for 10 days to stock up that 2000 lbs of food. Yummm bear meat! :meanie:

Ha, 2400 baud modem pwns you! Those were some good days dialing into BBS and boards. Typing up in lotus 123, saving to giant 5.25" discs. Woot!

I remember having problems with WinModems when trying to play WarCraft II with a friend. I also remember when all of my friends had the shareware version of Doom on their PC, since NOBODY paid for that stuff.

I know where to find the white page in Myst.
 
I would play this game for hours. It was so offensive it was great!

Myst was one of my favorite games EVER. They don't make games like that anymore...that was a game where you had to actually think and everytime I figured something out it was SO exciting!

Ha, WarCraft II. I remember Warlords when it was *just* Warlords. Where you could draw your own units - in pixel editor. :laugh:

But I do remember WarCraft II - the first edition had an old Orc shaman on the cover, and my brother said that Orc portrayed my inner self perfectly. :laugh: I think I still have that cover somewhere...

All the games where you could *gasp* multiplay online were a crazy new thing to me which I never got a taste for. Though Heroes of Might and Magic (both II and III) was the best anyway. That's what my best friend and I or my brother and I played for hours, sitting right next to each other, and trying to insult each other into making a stupid move. 👍
