Here at Clanker Watch we’re keeping a vigilant eye on the future as we uneasily enter the Age of Robotics. And there’s never been a month like August of 2026 to keep that eye occupied with videos of robots breaking down, messing up, and in a few cases, straight-up catching on fire. That’s due to…

“They wanted a developer who already had an engine they could just art-slap some stuff into”. While not a tremendous success at the box office upon its original release, Disney’s 1991 film adaptation of The Rocketeer comics by Dave Stevens has gone on to generate a respectable cult following in the decades since. So, when…
Hard experience has taught me that I am not, in my heart, a Rainbow Six Siege guy. In fact, I’m not really a Rainbow Six guy. The series’ hardcore-ish squad-based first-person gameplay just never jibed with me going all the way back to 1998, when a five-year-old Josh got shot to death by eco-terrorists in…
