During a recent Megadeth concert in Singapore, frontman Dave Mustaine went full tilt goo-goo for Satan when he asserted to a confused crowd that U.S. President Barack Obama staged the tragic shootings in both Aurora, Colorado and at The Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek. This, according to Mustaine, was so that the President could justify a ban on guns. In the video taken from the concert, which you can watch below, Mustaine expressly states that the President planned these murders.

Mustaine goes on to say that he doesn’t know where he’s going to live if “America keeps going the way it’s going,” stating the the country is “turning into Nazi America.” The crowd appears to disagree with Mustaine judging from the tone of its roar, which included a few boos. One audience member can even be heard shouting, “Hey, we love America!” Mustaine’s response to the crowd’s reaction: “Be quiet.”

So let’s dissect Mustaine’s claims with a few facts, lest anyone out there get the idea that these remarks are anything other than completely deranged.

When patch 1.0.4 drops for Diablo III, it’s going to be a game changer. With all the class modifications having been announced, it seemed that the fanfare was over and we were just waiting for the patch to drop. This is not the case.

Today Blizzard Entertainment announced a new experience-based leveling system for max level (level 60) Diablo III characters called the Paragon System.

Independent comics are all about passion and drive. And nowhere is this more evident than with Stratum Comics and their first comic The Threat #1. The fact that it is produced here in The Lone Star State only makes it that much cooler. These folks tried to help fund it through Kickstarter, though it unfortunately missed its goal. But the fact that they still managed to make this happen is a testament to their need to breathe life into their dream.

This premier issue takes place in Houston, one of the few places that retained some sense of civilization in this future Earth. We start to get a sense of the division between the common people and the few people that control this city-state. Though not much of a story is laid out, we get to meet a lot of characters and learn a few tidbits about them. The main theme seems to revolve around those known as Virals. These Virals are enhanced humans, though we aren’t sure exactly how this happened… at least not yet.

The nineteenth episode of The Geeks Of Doom Round Up is here, and this week, Andy takes a look at an awesome and amusing trailer for the upcoming film Seven Psychopaths, directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Colin Farrell amongst an all-star cast. Later, Greg tips the hat to fellow Geeks Of Doom contributor, Stoogeypedia, for his recent Top Vinyl Rock Records Of The ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s feature, and we play from his list, "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" by the kings of metal themselves, Black Sabbath.

Later in the show, we take a look at The 10 Best Films of 2012 So Far, from an article by Famous Monster. We also recommend the new feature here at Geeks Of Doom called If BAADASSSSS! Controlled The Universe, and in the first edition, he examines (in an alternative universe), an unfinished version of The Expendables from 1976!
