This insane GTA V ramp truck mod destroys all cars and lands on reddit’s front page

GTA 5 - INSANE RAMP TRUCK MOD !!!
The Simple Trainer GTA V mod by sjaak327 has given birth to a new ruler of the game, and its name is the Omega Ramp. All bow before Omega Ramp and its minions. Such are the demonic spawn of nefarious YouTuber BlackSmoke Billy: melded vehicles of mass destruction. It’s so insane it made reddit’s front page.

Yes, good ol’ Billy uses a trailer attached to the front of a MTL Packer cab to form a ramp that can shoot cars into the air like they’re being spit out of skeet trap. The commute from the boonies turned into a highway to the danger zone for a bunch of unfortunate NPCs.

The entire multiwheeled cast of Maximum Overdrive wishes it had half the destructive power of the first ramp, made of a simple trailer. And Optimus Prime can eat his servos out. But it gets worse — and that means it gets funnier. So much funnier.

BlackSmoke Billy didn’t stop there, he went bigger, and bigger still. This is GTA V, after all. His ramp to automobile heaven grew by degrees. Finally, he ends with something that looks like the side of a canal on the front of his truck. Its swath of destruction covers the entirety of a six-lane highway.

The final massive wall-ramp’s menace is reminiscent of Duel, Spielberg’s first movie. Joy Ride, with its soft newness can’t imagine the sinister looming horror that is the Omega Ramp truck. Good thing this wasn’t online mode. Watch the video, imagine this bearing down on you as you play online, and feel the inevitability of death. And the final, somehow logical touch in an illogical world; Trevor is the driver. He’d make a perfect Rusty Nail.

Stand in awe of the Omega Ramp, and pay it homage. Cue the comment puns; Billy deserves it. His rampage is the kind of thing that makes people want to play GTA V again, or at least makes people hurt themselves laughing. He reached out on YouTube to thank everyone for the compliments, saying he’ll post another crazy video soon. One viewer request we’d like to second: let’s pit this Omega Ramp truck against a train. That would really ramp it up.

The best Fallout New Vegas mods
A soldier with a sniper in New Vegas.

The debate around which Fallout game is best typically comes down to either Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Whichever side you land on, there's no denying that New Vegas made the most out of what it had to work with. This game was originally made by Obsidian, not Bethesda, and it had a very short development time that resulted in a game in which the technical performance couldn't quite match its narrative and mechanical ambitions. While the core was still great, it has also been over a decade since the game came out, which makes those blemishes even more evident. Because fans took so well to what this entry was trying to do, mods have kept New Vegas alive and well to this day. From basic visual enhancements to new quests and locations, here are the best mods you can get for New Vegas.
NMCS Texture Pack

Honestly, New Vegas was never a looker. Even upon release, it was a bit behind the times in terms of graphical fidelity, and two generations later, it isn't aging all that well. The NMCS Texture Pack doesn't bring every aspect of the world up to a modern standard, but what it does upgrade is incredibly impressive. This mod completely retextures roads, environments, plants, vehicles, buildings, and more. What it won't change is how the sky, water, clothing, NPCs, weapons, and a handful of other things appear. It also does not work with any DLC. Still, the majority of things you will be seeing get a great visual buff here to help breathe new life into the wasteland.
