Nearly two weeks after Grand Theft Auto V landed on PC, people are making good use of its innovative in-game editing tool.

Like this, a two-minute video of a massive humpback whale barreling into traffic, flopping onto unsuspecting people and terrorizing Los Santos.

This spectacle is from the mind of YouTube user Merfish who used a modding tool called “Script Hook V” to make this masterpiece. From the looks of it, he had a whale of a time doing it too. (Sorry.)

GTA V modding is still in its early stages, but the creators of Script Hook V and OpenIV told us ​they're confident they can get by the protections Rockstar Games put in place in an attempt to stop them.
