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 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...

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet A 2021 map for Among Us updates is still missing in action, despite a promise early this year - which may be because predictions are impossible. In a January blog post, Among Us creators InnerSloth promised a content roadmap for 2021. The idea was to "be more transparent" about what features were launching for the social deduction game, and in which order. As of mid-May, however, that roadmap for Among Us still doesn't exist, and given both the time of year and the likely explanation, it may not arrive at all. Among Us first launched in June 2018 as a mobile-only title for iOS and Android, only reaching PCs in November that year. It was largely sidelined until early 2020, when Twitch and YouTube streamers helped shoot it to massive popularity. This resulted in a Nintendo Switch port in December, and plans for both Xbox and PlayStation versions by the end of 2021. In terms of original content, the biggest release so far has been...
