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 Impostor Alignment Chart Is Pretty Accurate

Among Us Impostor Alignment Chart Is Pretty Accurate

An Among Us fan has made a Dungeons & Dragons alignment chart categorizing how impostors behave when they're caught killing an innocent crewmate.

Among Us Impostor Alignment Chart Is Pretty Accurate

A fan has made an Among Us alignment chart to categorize some of the most common reactions an impostor can have to being caught in the act. Among Us is one of 2020's biggest surprise hits; the social deduction game was released in 2018 but failed to gain a real following until 2020, at which point it exploded in popularity. It was such a tremendous success that it made Steam's list for best-selling games of 2020, despite its low price and the fact that it's free on mobile devices.

The game's success has led to a massive, dedicated following, and that, in turn, has produced a lot of fan content. Players have been paying homage to Among Us in all manner of strange and phenomenal ways. Fan art is of course a common means of expressing one's love for a game, and people have certainly produced a lot of fan art of Among Us. But they've also gone further, producing whole 3D films and animations to commemorate the game. One fan even created and played through one of the game's maps in 3D.

But Reddit user MonotonousProtocol has shifted their focus away from the game itself and focused on the people who play it. They've created a Dungeons & Dragons alignment chart by which a player can judge their behavior as an impostor. The chart sorts players based on their reaction to getting caught in the act of committing a murder. The Good impostors, for instance, admit defeat with varying levels of dignity, while the Neutral ones deny their guilt one way or another or simply rage quit altogether. MonotonousProtocol has saved the Evil row for impostors who report their co-conspirators, or even pretend to. Even players who claim they're about to reveal an impostor as a joke without following through are categorized as Lawful Evil. Impostors who name innocent crewmates upon being outed are Neutral Evil, while those who snitch on their fellow Impostor are Chaotic Evil.

D&D alignment charts have always been a good way of categorizing people based on their behavior. The simple 3x3 chart was created for the iconic tabletop RPG as a way to quickly and intuitively sort characters based on their goals and beliefs. It's an efficient system, but in recent years it's been getting more and more controversial. There's always been a bit of ambiguity in how each alignment is defined, and disagreements on how a character should act according to their alignment can be quite disruptive at the table. The game has also been accused of perpetuating racist stereotypes by giving player races alignments that they're generally inclined to, though the most recent book, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, has thankfully resolved this issue to some degree.

As problematic as the alignment chart is becoming in modern D&D, it remains a decent way of sorting morality at a glance. If nothing else, it makes for a solid meme, as seen here. For the most part it looks like MonotonousProtocol just wanted to condemn people who rat out their friends. But all the same, this chart is a solid look into the life of an Among Us impostor.

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...
