This is an actual boomer moment. Man they think they're making video games sound sooo scary but literally everyone not a boomer knows what among us is except these fools. I wouldn't be surprised if some amazonian tribes know what among us is.
shooter was trained videogame killer
Oh my god, is it time for the boomer "Call of Duty makes kids violent" discourse again?
Among Us
nvm, this is peak comedy actually
The UnitedHealth CEO was sus in electrical, my boy had to vent.
Fucking hell they have to know at this point this falls flat on its face to ANY other crowd than boomers right? Peak reporting in America here, desperate attempt to ruffle the feathers of the pearl clutchers.
assmuggus
Article is sus.
Amognus 😀
Ah, yes, Among Us, truly the most killer-y game of all killer games. Only a truly nefarious person would play that. In case they got the wrong guy, we should search the small group of other people who willingly played this dreadful game.
Do I even need a /s?
And it's only been played by several hundred million of people!
AOC played amoung us once. I always knew shes sus!
All those children who played it are devilspawn and will become mass murderers in the future! /s
Now that's what I call responsible journalism! /s
The first of many, I bet.
Ah right. It was the video games all along. Guess we all missed the video where he flossed after kill.
Well now I wanna really see him tbag the CEO corpse. Maximum disrespect pro gamer move.
Corperate media and boomer produces such absurd content.
They knew what they were doing when they didn’t include the game title in the headline.
My god, I spent my teenage years playing counter strike, I must be a serial killer who murdered several thousands after a few decades... What a fucking waste of space article.
I love how so many people here don't see the dude made a shitpost trolling the news. He literally went "killer amogus lmao" and the news grabbed it like he was serious.
Oh no, he played one of the most popular games of the last decade? I’ll bet he played Balatro recently, too!
That’s it, guys, he’s clearly a degenerate psychopath.
Oh, ffs, Among Us and that racing game with the tumbling surfaces (wtf was that called again?) were the hot games that year, it seemed like everyone took at least one turn through them. Zoom happy hours, sourdough bread, The Wellerman - it was an insanely odd year for fads.
Fall Guys?
Yes!! Thank you!
It’s called a platformer, not a racing game 💀
Foot races are still races.
The Wellerman deserved the hype, and I learned about a song from them that I like even more because of how popular it got
During the end of the Wellerman hype it was pretty grating for people to ONLY know that one song or put it in their videos.
Though it introduced me to a bunch of cool creators I wouldn't have known otherwise.
What was the other song you liked more?
Oh, I like The Longest Johns!
The Wellerman craze introduced me to them, and now I've got a bunch of their albums.
First pass I read as Mangione played the CEO in among us and they were in a discord group together, and admitted that that was a very eerie circumstance. But nope, Mangione is just a normal 20 something.
He shouldn't have vented into a populated McDonald's. 🤦♂️
He played a video game in which you kill people! Which is, like, most video games.
red sus
dark green sus you mean
No, no. Dark green was with me in med bay, I swear.
Sounds like red did it, not Luigi
omg there are millions of brainwashed assassins out there
Might get some John Wick spin-offs?
It's obvious clickbait, but no one is saying the game caused anything.
Just his buddy in a discord where they played among us saying "isn't that interesting, there really was a secret killer in this group that played a game about a secret killer"
Amogus
So bad it's ascended.
For comedy that's so bad it's good.
