Summon Godzilla And More in This ‘Skyrim’ Mod!

Published

Ah, Skyrim. Now I know that not everyone loves Bethesda’s massive RPG, but there are those who to this day can’t get enough of it. Hence, the ability to mod the game adds almost infinite possibilities to its longevity. Plus, once in a while, you get some pretty cool and creative mods. Like the ability to ride around on Godzilla.

Back in 2015, modder gg77 created a mod which let players shapeshift into additional creatures such as werebears and werebats, but also the King of the Monsters himself. Now, gg77 is back with a new mod based on their old mod that in lieu of shapeshifting, you can now instead ride Godzilla. The Godzilla and Company mod not only lets you ride Godzilla, but also Mecha Godzilla and Rodan!

Disappointingly, however, is the fact that you can’t ride these kaiju and stomp/burn Skyrim into oblivion (that was an Elder Scrolls joke, sorry), but you can spawn an army of them if you so desire (which is kind of cool). Now the mod isn’t perfect, and there are some bugs that exist in this one, so be sure to read the mod’s description so you know what to do (and not to do).

No DLC is required for this mod. All you’ll need for the PC version of Skyrim is the Nexus Mod Manager. You can hit up one of the above links in order to get that going.

We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.

Ray Garton was 61 years old.

Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”

Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.

Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.

Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.

You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.

He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”

“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.

Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
