Like: playing GTA Online now. All the heists done, all the cars owned, maybe with the occasional test of how many pedestrians a driver can hit with a firetruck in under 60 seconds. But an itch will come. That “What if I try to do completely silly and nonsensical things” sort of itch. And that is what a player did. They landed a FREAKIN’ BOAT on the highest building of Los Santos.
A boat on a skyscraper! I am not even joking.
One of the very best things in this mad video was the clip before said madness went viral. The guy starts with a speedboat, drives it somehow up the side of the Maze Bank Tower-something on its own insane to even try to imagine-at that point parking it with pinpoint precision on the roof’s helipad of said tower. Where does that kind of thought even come from? Who wakes up in the morning and says, “Today I shall defy all laws of physics and common sense to put a water vehicle where no water vehicle ought ever to be”?
The reactions, however, are completely insane, almost as crazy as the stunt itself. “GTAO players have run out of things to do in game and they have fun like this now,” narrates one. Actually… fair enough. After playing a game for about ten years, you do have to find ways to entertain yourself. Then we get the other voice saying, “I spent hours trying this in GTA and always ended up in the water. lol.” That sounds about right for most of us attempting this nonsense.
The comments record a mixture of respect and complete bafflement. Some are actually calling the player “an absolute legend,” while others question his life choices with, “Only jobless would make you think of this” to my personal favorite, “Lol whyy though,” because really… why?? But also… why not??
The physics are broken, in the best possible way. Another comment reads, “Physics has left the chat,” which, honestly, is the best and most precise description for GTA Online usually. You know, the game where if you fall off a building, you survive if you land on a car but perish immediately if you step off a curb the wrong way.
Now that is the kind of business that keeps GTA Online fitting even after this long. We are all laying low for GTA 6, right? But meanwhile, players get to entertain themselves by doing the craziest stuff imaginable. Another comment says, “Can you imagine how many things we could do after GTA 6 is out? Insane,” and honestly… they aren’t lying. If such madness is already running around with technology nearing about a decade old, just imagine what craziness they will unleash on the next-gen.
There’s also a running joke about this basically being Fast & Furious logic – “When Fast & Furious runs out of road, they start using buildings” which is… painfully accurate. Dom Toretto would definitely approve of that family.
Maybe just could be the simplest comment, though, and thereby one of the best: “He’s just have fun lol,” because, at the very end of the day, that is what gaming is meant to be about, isn’t it? Just having dumb, ridiculous fun that really makes no sense but still provides all the happiness. After all, with the world turning so serious and complicated and realistic with all these game design comps, sometimes you just want to do something dumb like park a boat on a skyscraper.
The creativity of this GTA Online community never ceases to amaze me. Where Rockstar keep giving updates that count as actual content, the players are busily making each other laugh to oblivion by taking the GTA mechanics to extremes as their roadside entertainment. It really feels like: a digital playground where the only limitation is your imagination (and probably the game’s physics engine, but apparently not).
It is the very kind of content that ensured GTA Online maintained an enormous crowd for such a long time. It’s not the ones about missions or money grinding – it’s about those moments of pure chaos which are purely expected from within this very specific sandbox. Where else could you attempt to land aquatic vehicles on architectural landmarks just to see if it can be done?
And then an actual person comes along and proves that it can, right when countless others had just failed. That’s the magic itself. When you watch that, and just as you go, “No way, no way they’re actually gonna…” Oh wait, they did”. Those moments are what keep games alive for years and years. It’s not about the graphics or story. It’s all about those moments shared amongst players, those moments of madness.
So next time you’re bored in the GTA Online, maybe don’t go off another rampage for 5 minutes. Instead, try something utterly absurd. Who knows? You could be creating the next viral moment that has everyone questioning your life choices while secretly wishing they had thought of it first.
