In classic "make an adaptation of a thing four years after it was popular" form.

I have never played Among Us and it annoys me when I see it.

But Owen Dennis is the showrunner, so literally nothing will stop me from watching this.

If thats what this is than what do you call the Battleship movie?

for better or worse, among us isn't exactly a fall guys case, it does still have an active playerbase in the tens of millions (almost entirely on mobile)

Animation takes time you know...

But if merchandise is an indicator I think Among Us is still plenty popular. I still see it everywhere.

I heard they just made a new Pokemon show too. Talk about cashing in on a years old fad.

Amogus lmao

When I saw Randall Park was in this I was hoping they would also cast John Krasinski

You guys wouldn't be memeing if you've watched Infinity Train!

Dedicated groups of players who regularly play among us can still result in some interesting content. When you have a tight knit group they learn each other's habits and tendencies and the social deduction element of the game is better for it. And then you throw in the modded roles so it's not just imposters + crewmates, but also sheriff, engineer, transporter, arsonist, lovers, snitch, etc? My interest to watch is very dependent on the group, but when it's a good group I'm all about it.

I still try to watch the "Morning Lobby" each week (organized by hafu, though dumbdog will do it when she misses a week) which is usually around 13 players from a pool of about 20 or so. Other lobbies will only hold my attention depending on what the ratio of serious to meme gameplay is.

but why not play an actual mafia game then?

I mean, why watch anything on twitch when you can just play the game yourself? Because it's fun and entertaining?

Also I've been playing in the b8 mafia games

no, why don't they play the actual game

Mafia is one of the least appealing games out there. People want to like it but they absolutely hate everything about it. They will try absolutely any mafia-like that's not mafia, just because they hate the original game so much. It's weird but it's true.

i see a lot of the among us-dedicated streamers gravitate to whatever other shiny and new team-oriented games are popular at the time on the side, be it rust, phasmophobia, dread hunger, lethal company or whatever else, because they're popular lol

i have no doubt mafia streams do happen (i myself catch murder mystery custom trpg scenario streams on semi-relatively regular occasions) but people doing mainstream content are only interested in mainstream things for the most part, it's just how it works

Because it was an interesting/popular way to frame the mafia experience? And while it is definitely true that the original version of amongus with imposters and crewmates only was kinda like baby's first mafia-like. So in that respect I definitely wanted more from it in terms of complexity. But when you add a dozen new roles and when those roles aren't guaranteed to be in every game it becomes a much more rich experience. "I saw someone vent! They might be an imposter, but they might be the Jester, and if we vote them out they win the game". "I saw XXX kill somebody, but they said they were somewhere else. They might be lying, or there might have been a Morphling who transformed to look like them while they killed somebody", and so forth. Almost every part of the game now can be explained in multiple ways and you have to figure out what the truth is.

And now you have other similar games like Goose Good Duck providing similar experiences, albeit packaged in different ways.

Really hope one of them isn't actually being played by who they've told us is playing them.

okay this would actually be kind of a sick premise

I'm guessing the people who aren't hyped for this casting probably haven't played much Among Us.

If you did, you'd know how much Green Guy freaking rules and that Elijah Wood is basically the most perfect casting you could have for him. I'm really excited to see his take on the character.

Does the game treat the colors differently?

That's a great cast.

You're an amogus sussy baka

Amoong uss

Battleship is evergreen, obviously.

It would have to, I'd think

It does not except that they are different so you can say "I saw Blue kill someone"

But the mods added so many cosmetics that you barely register the color underneath

Is this irony? Sorry I genuinely don't know.

Unrelated but UF8 mentioned it, are they making a fall guys show or something?
