Other parts are frozen solid. There will also be a minibot which must stack tubes to get bonus points.
I took the first letters of each sentence:

Aiowgwwhity2 IfIs2a2alsedto Itiwbawgtisfaafbwcapwiboab Htfiuw Opafs Twabamwmsttgbp

Becasue we're looking for the 2016 game, which ends with 6, I added 2 and 3, two factors of 6, to get 5. The fifth string of letters, "Opafs", brings up this image on Google as the first result. The first name on that chart, Don Larson, when searched on Wikipedia, although it is a different Don Larson, appears to have been a baseball player. Don was born on August 7, 1929. On that same date, Babe Ruth tied the record for grand slams in consecutive baseball games. The total calories of all possible components of a Denny's Grand Slam, ignoring seasonal fruit and yogurt, because you don't go to Denny's to be healthy, is 2710. Google Streetview of 2710, W State St, Milwaukee WI, shows a blue school bus. "The Big Blue Bus" happens to be a nickname of the Kansas City Royals baseball team.

This is a pretty deep hint from the GDC. For all I know, it could go deeper. I can only draw one conclusion from it.

Water Game 2016.
