Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

Among Us Player Finds Smash Bros Melee Easter Egg On Airship

Among Us Player Finds Smash Bros Melee Easter Egg On Airship

Among Us players are discovering Easter eggs in the new Airship map, including a reference to Super Smash Bros. Melee, although there's more to it.

Among Us Player Finds Smash Bros Melee Easter Egg On Airship

Popular sleuthing game Among Us is apparently hiding a few Easter eggs in its maps, as one player discovered when they stumbled across what looks like a reference to Super Smash Bros Melee on the newest Airship map. Hanging from the northern wall of the Vault is an image of one of Melee's most infamous levels, although the reference isn't quite as straightforward as it seems.

The new Airship map in Among Us is the biggest and most complex map in the game to date, and as a result, offered the developers the opportunity to hide pop culture references, or Easter eggs, in various spots throughout. It's given Crewmates something else to do if they've managed to complete their tasks before being offed by the Impostor(s), and it didn't take long after the Airship finally took off for Crewmates to start spotting them. A few have posted their discoveries on Twitter, but the Easter eggs are more to do with InnerSloth's other property than they really are with the games they reference.

Twitter user PJiggles, for one, discovered a painting on the northern wall of the Airship's Vault room that Super Smash Bros. Melee's fans will recognize as the game's final unlockable arena, aptly titled "Final Destination." But fans of the Newgrounds-born classic point-and-click series Henry Stickmin will recognize it more as an homage to the original series that the Airship map was based off of, particularly Infiltrating the Airship and the Vault, which in both games contains a number of Easter eggs to discover. This includes the "Derp Scout" meme from Team Fortress 2, an energy sword from Halo, the Golden Gun from GoldenEye, and, of course, the painting of Melee's Final Destination level.

More accurately, according to Stickmin creator Marcus Bromander, aka PuffballsUnited, the picture is a reference to to the "No Items, Fox Only, Final Destination" meme, although it is suspiciously bereft of foxes. It's not exactly surprising that Among Us would incorporate elements from Henry Stickmin into its newest map, nor is it the first time it's happened, because Bromander is also one of the founding members of InnerSloth. So the eggs aren't necessarily about referencing games that most players will almost instantly recognize: it's more about tying the two properties together, ostensibly in a single universe, and hopefully raising awareness about the Henry Stickmin Collection, which didn't have the surprise success that Among Us did.

Anyone who's unfamiliar with the Henry Stickmin series and would like to correct this is in luck, as InnerSloth has remastered the series and made it available for $14.99 on Steam. It's a must for any true Among Us fan who wants to learn more about where the creators of this iconic indie game got their start.

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus Among Us' hats can say a lot about the player that wears them and may influence who dies first. Here's every hat in the game ranked from cute to sus. One of the best ways to appear innocent in Among Us is by dressing for the occasion. While judging someone by their appearance is superficial, it could also be a player's saving grace. This graph will examine every hat in Among Us and rank them according to how cute, boring, silly, and sus they are. In a social deduction game like Among Us, players usually don't have a lot to go off outside of appearances. This becomes even more true for players who primarily play in public lobbies where voice chat isn't an option. A player could be given the benefit of the doubt immediately depending on how they choose to dress. While dressing cute could help an innocent crewmate stay out of the spotlight, it can also allow the Impostor to prey on the unassuming minds of their vic...

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...
