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’s First Among Us Stream Is One Of The Most Viewed In Twitch History

AOC’s First Among Us Stream Is One Of The Most Viewed In Twitch History

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is streaming Among Us on Twitch for the first time, and drawing one of the highest peak viewer counts ever for the site.

AOC’s First Among Us Stream Is One Of The Most Viewed In Twitch History

US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held her first Twitch stream ever tonight, playing Among Us with a host of streaming stars, and drawing one of the largest concurrent viewerships in Twitch history. AOC is no stranger to video games - she’s talked before about her love of League of Legends, and earlier this year visited the islands of a few lucky Animal Crossing: New Horizons players.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez announced that she wanted to start streaming yesterday by simply asking on Twitter if anyone would be interested in streaming with her. Unsurprisingly, the answer from a lot of streamers was an emphatic “yes.” She quickly arranged a game with streamers Pokimane and Hasan Piker, but her first stream - intended to go live yesterday - was pushed back so AOC could gather the requisite streaming equipment and prepare for the stream.

Earlier today, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez posted to Twitter that the stream would go forward tonight. Before the game even got underway, AOC’s Twitch stream attracted more than 200,000 viewers, a number that grew quickly as the stream picked up. While the stream is still ongoing, it peaked at around 440,000 earlier in the night. According to Twitch stats tracker SullyGnome, that gives AOC’s Among Us game tonight the sixth-highest peak viewer count in Twitch history. That’s only accounting for AOC’s own stream, not those of Rep. Ilhan Omar, Pokimane, Hasan Piker, DrLupo, and several other streamers who joined in on the game.

AOC’s First Among Us Stream Is One Of The Most Viewed In Twitch History

Before her Among Us stream tonight, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez already took an active interest in Twitch. She was behind proposed legislation that would have curbed the military’s ability to use Twitch as a recruiting tool - something it’s gotten a lot of backlash for lately - though the measure was ultimately defeated. While this was AOC’s first stream from her own channel, she previously appeared on a charity stream from Hbomberguy to support trans rights.

If AOC’s first stream is any indication, there’s quite an audience that wants to see the politician take a break for some games if she chooses to stream again. While she hasn’t specifically laid out any plans for streaming beyond this first outing, the chances seem good that this won’t be her last time on Twitch. A lot of that has to do with AOC’s charisma and actual interest in streaming for its own sake. Unlike attempts to use Twitch by other politicians, AOC is using Twitch like any other streamer for her Among Us stream - as a way to have fun and give viewers an entertaining show. It just happens to also be in support of mobilizing voters for an incredibly important election.

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...
