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...

AOC To Stream Among Us On Twitch With Canadian Politician Jagmeet Singh

AOC To Stream Among Us On Twitch With Canadian Politician Jagmeet Singh

US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will stream Among Us on Twitch again, this time with Jagmeet Singh, head of Canada's New Democratic Party.

AOC To Stream Among Us On Twitch With Canadian Politician Jagmeet Singh

US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is set to stream Among Us on Twitch again, this time at the invitation of Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh. Singh is the leader of Canada’s left-wing New Democratic Party.

This won’t be the first time that AOC has streamed Among Us on Twitch. The first time that she streamed the social deduction game - or any game at all - on her Twitch channel was back in October, when she was joined by Rep. Ilham Omar, streamers Pokimane, HasanAbi, and others. AOC organized the stream to raise voter awareness, and her initial tweet proposing the idea quickly gained traction, with plenty of streamers jumping at the chance to play Among Us with her. When the match-up happened the next day, AOC’s broadcast became one of the most watched live streams in Twitch history. Since then, the archived video has gained over 5.6 million views.

Now, AOC is going live in Among Us again along with NPD leader Singh and others. In the Twitter post announcing the stream, Singh also invited streamers HasanAbi and Northernlion to join, along with AOC. Both Northernlion and HasanAbi have confirmed that they will be joining the stream, and it’s likely that they won’t be the only guests, given the incredibly high profile of the people involved already. The packed Among Us stream is set to go live tomorrow, November 27, at 7 pm ET.

Canadian Members of Parliament & US Members of Congress venting each other into space. What could go wrong? I’m in @theJagmeetSingh! See you tomorrow. 7pm EST 👾 🇺🇸🇨🇦https://t.co/F2JNKLgFaQ https://t.co/QmhF6D86NO

If it’s anything like AOC’s first Among Us steam, the upcoming game with Singh will be more of a reprieve from politics than a stream of political commentary, despite being headlined by two important politicians. Twitch itself has been embroiled in some messy politics lately, though, specifically around the platform’s copyright protections. A massive wave of DMCA takedowns were issued recently, forcing streamers to delete old videos or face having their accounts banned. Twitch itself offered little more than promises to do better, leaving affected streamers to work out problems for themselves, with the laughable suggestion to turn off all in-game audio on streams to avoid copyright strikes.

Streamers like HasanAbi have found success by discussing politics on stream, but attempts by politicians to use the platform have been much more limited. President-elect Joe Biden joined Twitch during his campaign, but his channel was oddly used to host lo-fi music and a few other sparsely viewed events. Politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jagmeet Singh seem to have a much better handle on Twitch, using the platform the way it was intended, to play games like Among Us and grab the attention of users without turning their channels into campaign commercials.

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...
