    That comic is wrong. The latter situation applies when you do use punctuation rules with the Oxford comma, but the sentence in question does not have the comma before 'and'. If you don't use the Oxford comma, only the latter sentence is grammatically correct, but is (very slightly) ambiguous. It's not a problem, since you can parse the meaning using context (like you have to do with practically any sentence anyway).
  2. Neptune's Bountiful Pride 6!

    Maybe we should start playing?
  3. Books, books, books...

    I would play that.
  4. Breaking Bad

    Oh, man. Breaking Bad... So good!
  5. Id's Rage

    I bet Finnish rally drivers don't, though!
  6. Deus Ex 3

    Never noticed that! I mean, I saw the arch, I just thought it was some device.
  7. Id's Rage

    Stuff like that (the last bit) always annoys me in games. I think the first time I saw it was in that rally game by a Finnish company. Come on -- people use seatbelts when they are chased by crazy postapocalyptic gangs.

    I joined. If I'm taking the place of someone who signed up earlier, I suppose I can still leave.
  9. Life

    Yes!

    Oh lord.
  11. Books, books, books...

    Yes, though it's definitely a thriller more than a good mindfucking.
  12. Neptune's Bountiful Pride 6!

    Geez, how many people can you fit in one game? I could play too, I guess.
  13. Books, books, books...

    You should read REAMDE, you guys.
  14. Breaking Bad

    You're definitely correct, I was merely making a what-I-would-take-to-a-desert-island kind of opinion.

    How are you self-employed? You were working at your parents' store and now you're not.
  16. Breaking Bad

    Well, it's a bit hard to imagine how the next episode will go without everybody dying.
  17. Breaking Bad

    I just found out Breaking Bad has been renewed for a final season. This is both excellent and sad. It's not a series that needs to go forever, but it has been brilliant so far. After thinking about it, I would definitely choose this series over The Wire. Nothing I've seen has been able to maintain suspension so well and bring it back again and again.
  18. Deus Ex 3

    I haven't seen a proper crowd in a game since this: 74svhYZGURc
  19. Starbreeze's Syndicate

    I kinda like that dubstep remix, though maybe just because the original music is so wonderful. This may well turn out to be a good game, but I can't think of anything it shares with the original except the name. It's not even visually similar.
  20. Movie/TV recommendations

    Ask your parents. Didn't like the episode, but that's almost always the case for me with this type. Give me one offs.

  22. Good Old GOG

    It's like they took a syringe and extracted the charm (which is what the game has going for it). Horrid 3D rendered animations with massive compression artifacts. Also, the Nico scene is shit. The original has one of the strongest intros in gaming history, this one starts with a whimper.

    18 - 20 is no difference at all. EDIT: I double checked, turns out the difference is 2. My bad.
