On DidYouKnowGaming, the big square VGFacts image is grammatically incorrect.
It reads "VGFacts had thousands of pieces of trivia, and is updated frequently."
There shouldn't be a comma. A comma should be used with a conjunction only when being used to combine a group of nouns (i.e. Mario, Zelda, and Metroid) or when combining two complete sentences. "is updated frequently" is not a complete sentence. If it was "it is updated frequently," then it would need a comma.
I'm not trying to be condescending; I'm just trying to help out.
