sal says:
      Robert E Howard
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      Good man, Robert E Howard
sal says:
      Put those two names together, and we'd get a long name
      and with a bit of mystery as to why just one of the middle names is an initial
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      Howard Philip Lovecraft E. Howard
      Because is stans for "ezekiel"?
sal says:

"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      It's uncommon but present in the UK
sal says:
      we don't see as much robert e howard stuff getting movie'd up
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:

      Yes, he played Robert e howard

      In the film written by Conan
sal says:
      Would be interesting to see some serious conan movies come out
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      Conan's list?
sal says:
      only things I know of are some darkhorse graffic novels and a fail'd mmo
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      A conan MMO sounds manly
      and would make sense
      a manly sense
      a manly kind of sense
sal says:
      it could be, but I haven't heard much about it
      it has some glitches and bugs, and that always makes the first impressions a bit sour
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      It'd have to be one of the few MMO's where you didn't start off by killing sheep
      It'd be WORMS from the beginning
      and levelling up would make little difference

"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      combos!
      "The game's combat system is more for evolved humans, who in the future will grow an additional two fingers to be able to reach the huge amount of key-bindings they'll have to make"

      Pretty sweet at holding things, too
sal says:
      I WILL HITCH HIKE MY WAY TO WORLD DOMINATION
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      That might be an idea, actually
      No need to buy APC's
      it's just "Troops, get lifts with the fleeing refugees"
sal says:
      there's another mmo that's getting made by the same dudes that made guildwars
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      oho?
sal says:
      indeed
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      You quite liked guildwars
sal says:
      Indeed
      I'd recommend it, but wait until the holidays because they put a lot of stuff on sale
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      That's a good thing about the holidays
      discounts
sal says:
      indeed
      guildwars is nice for its style, as opposed to wow's cartooniness
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      A bit too cartoony
      Did you ever play the matrix MMO?
sal says:
      I havne't
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      I've not heard anything consistent about it
sal says:
      It'd be a bit annoying
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      There's a dedicated "Whoa" key
sal says:
      You're super skilled, super cool, super jazzy, just like everyone else
      it'd ruin the illusion that there's suppose to be very few people outside of the matrix
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      Apparently people can play dudes inside the matrix
      which is interesting, and all
      If it was set in the machine war thing, that'd be good
      Although then they'd have to explain the whole weather thing
sal says:
      and death would have to be real, not that fake mmo respawn death
      /walking through giant sewer
      /gets ganked by sentinel
      /gets torn apart by sentinel
      /end
      /account deleted
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      /new account form generated
sal says:
      it'd be interesting in SecondLife was actually ran by the same people that do the matrix mmo
      and if someone figured that out, they'd get access to matrix mmo controlls
"We don't need anything but some salt" says:
      yessssssssssss
