I think there's an entire nest of them somewhere... |
Roll some cannisters of CN20 down there. Nerve gas the whole nest.

Simon did do proper punctuation by changing the comma to a period. The semicolon (mostly) indicates that the two independent clauses are closely related. It makes the break between the two clauses less abrupt, as well. I've also seen the semicolon used to show that the latter clause modifies or somehow defines the former. I don't know if that particular usage is "proper" or not (I think that it is), but it's been done.
The sentence could be rendered in this way: Online games are like drugs because you can't stop until the end. But the downside is that using a conjunction can weaken your statement. Asyndeton can be your friend.
Got grammar questions? Maybe I can answer them. But I digress.
What the hell is the topic again? Gastric bypass surgery? Canned Norwegians?

What is this 'topic' of which you speak? Relevancy confuses and angers us.

How does relevancy confuse? That confuses me. 
Here's what I'm thinking: nacho cheese and vodka.

But we don't know if it's going to affect them... for obvious reasons.
I say we move 'em all to Libya and nuke the site from orbit. Only way to be sure.

I'm surprised, actually, that you didn't see the picture hint in "canned Norwegian abusers of the English language".
Norwegians are just a weird bunch... (<--clicky)
Ipsa, the use of ";" has always confused me. It seems to be much more present in English than in Dutch. Anyhow, I'm glad I can make grammatical mistakes but still make sense in six languages.
