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 Names Being Used To Make Creative Music Videos

Among Us Player Names Being Used To Make Creative Music Videos

Among Us players are staging music videos in-game, and conveying the lyrics to songs like All Star and In The Jungle using their player names.

Among Us Player Names Being Used To Make Creative Music Videos

Among Us players have begun using their own usernames to stage remarkably creative music videos in-game. The multiplayer survival and debate game has seen a recent explosion of popularity following an underwhelming release in 2018. The game's unique mechanic of debate and deductive reasoning to single out the murderous impostors has made it an absolute hit online, and has even led it to supplant beloved battle royale Fall Guys in fame.

As with any online phenomenon, the success of Among Us has led to a lot of creativity from fans. The outpouring of memes and fan content has been extreme. Some have even taken their appreciation for the game to very bizarre levels, such as one Instagram user who constructed "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts, painting his toes to look like crew members and even using his own butt to form the exposed bone that appears when a player is killed. It seems like the game's simplistic art style has presented something of a blank canvas for players to challenge their creativity in some very bold ways.

One remarkable new creative endeavor has surfaced recently on Reddit. User pospol posted a music video they assembled with a friend, having been filmed entirely inside Among Us. In the video, pospol repeatedly emerges from a vent, each time with a different one-word username. The usernames in sequence provide the lyrics for Smash Mouth's infamous song All Star, made famous by its appearance in the classic animated movie Shrek. Like Among Us itself, All Star has become a rather prominent internet meme in its own right. User inkkkk, meanwhile, posted a somewhat more involved take on user name lyrics. This one involves whole servers full of people, using their nicknames to form the lyrics of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. This version involves choreography, with the users who represent the backup singers orbiting the main melody as it plays. The level of coordination that went into this production is pretty impressive.

What's remarkable about this new form of Among Us art is that it doesn't really have anything to do with the game itself. These creations, while inspired, could be done just as easily in any online game with prominently visible usernames. The fact that different people all had the idea to make this happen in Among Us shows just how popular that game is.

It's always wonderful to see how an online game like this impacts modern society and culture. Among Us isn't nearly as polished or heavily marketed as Fortnite or the newest Call of Duty game, but it's brought a lot more joy to a lot of people and given them a chance to express themselves in some truly unique ways. These creative music videos are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Among Us fan content, and hopefully that iceberg will get a lot bigger before it starts melting.

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...

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence Among Us is pretty brutal for such a simple-looking game with cute, rounded characters. Here's each kill animation ranked from least to most violent. Despite the rather cute and simple look of Among Us, the online science fiction game has some pretty horrific kill animations that are often shown when an Impostor is left alone with an unsuspecting Crewmate. This list will go over each one, ranking them from least to most violent. Killing is a natural part of Among Us as the premise states a parasitic shapeshifter Impostor has taken the place of one of the Crewmates in an otherwise productive crew of MIRA scientists, explorers, and researchers. Crewmates try figure out who the Impostor is while trying to stay alive, but fans know that death is an inevitable part of the game. In fact, the absence of one makes it near impossible to find out who the real Impostors are. Currently, there are only four different kill animations, but...

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started One interesting Among Us fan theory offers an explanation on the origins of the Impostors and provides a timeline for when and where they appear. The online social deduction multiplayer title Among Us is a relatively simple game, but it's recent success has already brought about some interesting and complex fan theories to give more backstory to the space-themed setting. One theory gives a plausible explanation for how the Impostors came to be, incorporating each of the maps for more evidence. There are currently three maps in Among Us: The Skeld, MIRA HQ, and the latest addition, Polus. The developers are in the process of adding a new map, so this theory will only pertain to the ones already available. The Skeld is the primary map that takes place on a cargo spaceship which travels to the other locations. MIRA HQ is a tall building set high in a planet's atmosphere and is the location the Crewmates travel back to a...
