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...

Fortnite Minecraft Among Top Platforms Predators Use to Prey on Kids

Fortnite Minecraft Among Top Platforms Predators Use to Prey on Kids

Fortnite and Minecraft have been named as two of the most popular platforms that online predators use to try and get in contact with children.

Fortnite Minecraft Among Top Platforms Predators Use to Prey on Kids

Fortnite and Minecraft might be two of the most popular video games on the planet, but their massive player bases have made them popular choices for online predators who want to contact children. The audience size for both Fortnite and Minecraft is staggering, to the point where Minecraft has one hundred million active players and has outsold Tetris to become the best-selling video game of all time.

Fortnite is equally as impressive as Minecraft in terms of its audience and effect on the industry. There are major movie franchises which have bent over backward to include Fortnite references in their narrative, even in the MCU and Star Wars. Fortnite is part of Star Wars canon officially now, which shows how much Disney wants to horn in on Epic's audience. The money generated by Fortnite is equally as impressive, as it's bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars each month. Minecraft now even has cross-play among all of the consoles, giving it access to a bigger audience and making it even easier for people around the world to play the game together.

The popularity of both Fortnite and Minecraft has made them popular choices for online predators. According to NJ.com, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey Gurbir Grewal has listed both games among the apps that parents most need to be aware of, as they are being used by predators to target children. The other apps included popular sites like Discord, KiK, and Tumblr. These programs were mentioned following the arrest of twenty-four individuals who believed they were talking to teenagers online when they were actually talking to the New Jersey State Police's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

The social media sites and games in question all have chat apps that can be used to contact other users, which is why they have become popular with online predators who wish to keep their identity a secret. The fact that games like Fortnite are so popular with young people makes them attractive prospects for these kinds of people, especially when Fortnite can have 8.3 million concurrent players, making it extremely hard to monitor the player base.

The internet is one of the most incredible inventions ever created by man, but it comes with its own dangers, especially for younger people. Fortnite's dance moves and popularity make it an extreme draw for children as well as a target for child predators, and parents need to be aware of all of the programs their children use, be they simple games like Fortnite and Minecraft or something more complex, as well as talking with them about who they communicate with online and what kind of information is safe to share. These apps and games are becoming a part of our daily lives more and more as time goes on, and online safety should be of paramount importance to those who use the internet on a regular basis.

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...
