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 Meme Perfectly Describes Private Lobbies vs Public Games

Among Us Meme Perfectly Describes Private Lobbies vs Public Games

An Among Us player on Reddit perfectly sums up what the issue is with public versus private lobbies in a painfully accurate meme.

Among Us Meme Perfectly Describes Private Lobbies vs Public Games

One particularly annoyed Among Us player cooked up and served to Reddit a meme that pretty accurately sums up the Among Us experience in public games with friends versus private lobbies with randoms. Among Us may still be the darling of the internet in a mid-pandemic world, but that doesn't mean the game isn't without its foibles.

Among Us, the now-infamous social deduction game, came onto the scene in 2018, but the game didn't really take off until July of this year when it was featured on a number of prominent Twitch streams. Since then, the game's player base has exploded, making it one of the year's most popular titles. Players join up in either private or public lobbies of up to ten players, during which time one or more players will be secretly assigned as an Imposter while others serve as Crewmates. Crewmates are tasked with completing small jobs around their level, while the Imposter clandestinely sabotages the level and kills Crewmates when they can. If Crewmates finish their tasks or vote off the Imposter, they win the game, whereas Imposters can win by staying on the ship and picking off as many Crewmates as possible.

The mechanics are simple, but depending on the lobby, the experience can vastly differ. Players who jump into lobbies with their friends on private servers tend to take it more logically, and debate more in depth, whereas in public lobbies, it's rather a different and far more frustrating story. Redditor orangesheepdog isn't the first fan to poke fun at the game's social constructs, but they sum up the lobby dichotomy fairly succinctly in a meme posted on the Among Us subreddit.

The meme is a pretty accurate representation of the private/public lobby experience, which isn't particularly encouraging for players who are looking to jump into public lobbies. Although playing solo is definitely still a possibility, playing with a group is where most of the game's appeal really lies. Private games are often a better experience, but harder to coordinate when players have "lives" and "jobs." Of course, that isn't to suggest that players in public lobbies can't still have a positive experience - it's more that perhaps they should go in with lower expectations.

After all, with more maps and quests and tasks coming out, players itching to jump into the game, but don't have the numbers to round out an entire lobby, will have to depend more on public lobbies to get their fill of new content. So players may not be trying to self-report, but "sus" is probably going to be thrown around a lot less discriminately.

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...

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...

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...
