[@vizzzyy190]

ive seen multiple 10 hour long videos on how bad starfield was. its inclusion in this is comedy genius

[@therealmanguyman]

I can't believe everybody hates starfield so much. It's revolutionary! It's like how everybody hated the car physics in GTA IV, when they were great! No game had inventories nor did they have equipping before, and you couldn't even loot! Can't wait for everybody to talk about how good it was when the next starfield comes out.

[@tokiWren]

it's so funny because it is actually that revolutionary in the gameclam universe. apparently

[@LFKShawn]

"welcome to my asshole" is the single funniest line to come out of all of RTVS

[@yourhighschoolenglishteach8405]

27:36

[@1967sluggy]

It gets funnier when you find out the original intent was for Mistar Whyte to say “Hello”, it would come out as gibberish, then “Welcome to my castle” which would be “welcome to my asshole”. But the timing was just slightly off, and so Wayne was behind schedule when he said “Hello”, leading to it just being “welcome to my asshole” That’s the magic of Gameclam: incredibly funny original concepts, often made even funnier by the various complications involved in trying to make said concept work

I was a dev on the GC4. There was a lot of potential there and we all really thought this was the next gen for gaming. When Alejandro got sucked into the floppy generator, i think it really took a lot of us out of the spirit of development. Sometimes i boot up my 4 for some CLAMHOUSE, i can hear him whimpering from beyond the walls.

[@Wrath1999]

[@jappy_jalloween]

I love the bit of Mistar Whyte progressively getting sweatier and tired going unexplained. With that and the mic bit I'm interpreting this as this Gameclam / conference requiring some sort of intense manual labor to keep running behind the scenes.

gameclam 4 feels like the perfect fusion of a way-too-long e3 announcement by a single spokesman who mostly understands how the console works and those like 30-minute-long infomercials that play at like 4 am where the host is desperately trying to convince the viewers to purchase a sponge sharpener from a studio with zero ventilation in the middle of the arizona desert an exhausted, sweaty man who's invested far too much into the online multiplayer market to give up now

[@yeehawjones1230]

on the podcast they said that the gimmick for mistar whyte in gameclam 4 was that he was on stimulants so i think that's supposed to be why he's panting and such but i do like the idea that he has to like run in a hamster wheel to keep the gameclam 4 running

[@jappy_jalloween]

Ah I was wondering if they did one of those but I couldn't find it. If you could link it or at least direct me towards that I'd love to check it out. I assumed if they did they probably would've explained it but I still like the thought of Hamster Wheel Powered Gameclam.
