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.

3 games leaving Xbox Game Pass you should play this weekend (December 20-22)

No more new games are coming to Xbox Game Pass for the rest of 2024. In fact, the service is going to lose some games at the end of the month. All of the games leaving the service on December 31 are very entertaining, and the lineup encompasses wacky racing games, hardcore strategy games about the history of humanity, and goofy fighting games where players control cute animals. These games are worth checking out this weekend as they're leaving Microsoft's gaming subscription service very soon.

LEGO 2K Drive | Awesome Reveal Trailer | Coming May 19

Racing games are some of the most approachable ones out there, so it makes sense that the genre would be a perfect fit for a Lego game. Visual Concepts and 2K went a step further than they had to with Lego 2K Drive, though, adding large open areas full of missions and minigames to experience. Lego 2K Drive is a light and breezy arcade-like racer that doesn't ask too much from players unless they want to spend a lot of time building vehicles piece by piece. After this game leaves the service at the end of the month, Forza Horizon 5 will be your only option when it comes to open-world racing games on Xbox Game Pass.

3 new PS Plus games that you should play this weekend (December 20-22)
Frey in Square Enix's Forspoken.

The latest batch of new PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalog additions was released this week. As a result, PS Plus subscribers have a ton of new options when it comes to what to play as we approach what is many people's holiday break. Games from this most recent batch are what I'm recommending people check out this weekend. One of the titles is technically a Christmas game, so it's fitting to play this time of year, while my other recommendations are good options if you're looking for something to play with others.
Forspoken
Forspoken - Official Launch Trailer

Square Enix's Forspoken is a high-profile action RPG console exclusive that was released on PlayStation 5 in 2023. While its quip-heavy dialogue definitely isn't for everyone, the way it incorporates the player's magical abilities into combat and traversal is truly exhilarating. Dashing through large fields, surfing on top of water, and launching bullet-like streams of rocks at enemies is immensely satisfying. Forspoken's Isekai adventure technically begins with the main character, Frey, being whisked away from New York City around Christmas. That technically makes this a Christmas game, giving you all the more reason to check it out this weekend.

We might get a new Steam Deck next month — and Valve isn’t making it

I suspected to see some new handheld gaming PCs this year at CES, but it looks like something even more exciting is in store. AMD and Lenovo are hosting an event during the week of the show, and it'll have two special guests in attendance: Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais and Microsoft's Jason Ronald.

I'll be attending the event on January 7, about which Sean Hollister over at The Verge initially shared out the details. There are a couple of reasons why this event could be significant. First, Valve. Since the launch of the Asus ROG Ally, there have been a handful of these types of events featuring spokespeople from AMD, Microsoft, and the company making a handheld -- Lenovo or Asus. Valve hasn't ever been in attendance, and considering Valve makes the Linux-based Steam Deck, it would be odd for the company to have a presence.
