In the game, called “Among Us,” some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.
Moar spin plz
VINNY DETECTED
Source pleeeaase. This is gold and needs to be framed an hung on a wall.
Found it, it’s NBC. But really google “luigi among us”: the news are seriously trying to drum up the DANGERS OF VIDEO GAME VIOLENCE again based on Luigi Mangione playing Among Us.
Next up at 11 - are chess and Risk players secretly warmongers?
Yes but it’s unrelated
That’s because their Orange Messiah has promised to ban video games as part of Project 2025.
Anyone thinking about engaging in direct action of any kind should consider embracing the absurdity. Imagine how stupid it would make the police look to beat up on a bunch of protestors wearing puffy amogus suits. It’s more than a joke, it’s historically been effective in opposing authoritarianism.
“Journalists” like this should be held responsible for the BS they spew. If there are no consequences they’ll just continue…
They usually never lie. They frame things in incredibly misleading ways, leave out context, etc. but they technically just report facts. Its shitty, but from a legal standpoint there is no way to make this illegal without heavily restricting journalists ability to do anything.
Does no one at NBC realise how bad this makes them look? I don’t even game and even I know what Among Us is and how desperate this piece comes across.
God, imagine a world where Amung Us has even a slight chance of turning you into a class war assassin. Given how many people played that at it’s peak, we’d be seeing CEOs dropping like flies. There’d be a few dozen per day.
Why can’t video games actually radicalize the way Boomer media believes it does?
The subtle messaging is too subtle
The game should add tasks where you have to make strategies to kill CEOs that another crewmate has to follow
A lot of boomers support luigi.
How SUSSY

BREAKING: CEO killer and murderer found to have eaten pork belonging to a pig named Cindy. Cindy was killed for him to consume Cindy’s meat in a violent and seditious manner. NY District Attorney now charging him with the murder of the pig, along with the murder of Cindy.
Based tbh. Killing a helpless animal is a lot worse than killing a mass murderer.
This typa content is gonna put the Onion out of business again
I’m so fucking tired of the NYPD not having a viable strategy to stop venting
The feds tried to hire Detective Fruit but Mr. Fruit declined stating that United Healthcare was “acting kinda sus”.
I will repeat: the guy is a hero for standing up for democracy and the reduction of greed.
This just in… Putin used to play the card game “War” when he was in middle school!
This was a game that got a huge boost in popularity in 2020 thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown.
In the movie Glass Onion (which takes place during the lockdown) Benoit Blanc is introduced playing Among Us while taking a bath (implied for a very long time). Two of Blanc’s opponents are Angela Lansbury / Jessica Fletcher and Stephen Sondheim
Technically, Among Us the killer isn’t a human assassin but a creature like the eponynous thing in John Carpenter’s The Thing. The game features a tongue attack that no human (known) can do.
Personally, I was turned onto Among Us by my grandson who loved the game, and it was a way to bond. I went by Wargraves and nobody ever got the reference. It was a little wierd thay most of the players were grade-schoolers who had a tendency to assume everyone else was also their age. After all, I’m wearing the top hat and am named after an Agatha Christie character.
I can do the tongue thing
You could make a career out of that.
Well, to be fair, I don’t think too many grade schoolers are reading Agatha Christie novels much of these days…
Or for that matter, reading in general.
Yes, but among my regular players were Agatha Christie enthusiasts, and they failed to notice as well.
My Grandson is 11 now and is reading YAF, so there’s still hope. My partner, who is an avid reader has been calling him up to read a book together.
