Rosecrans Baldwin's Layer 5 Commentary

Ted Got Played

And just like that, we're back

Here's how you win at Layer Tennis. You ignore the haters. You block your ears from the venemous roar of the crowd. You take what you know best, the style you're known for, you take it and you make it into putty, then you shape the putty into a muscle car, full-sized, with stenciled naked ladies or mancake (your choice) on the mudflaps, and then you pick up your opponent's last volley and afix it on the front as a hood ornament. And then you drive your loaf-baking, ghost-smoking ass into the sunset.

That's how you win Layer Tennis. And Sam just reclaimed the lead.

I remember when I got my first Nintendo. It was Christmas the year that the very first Nintendo hit the market. (Ooph! I'm over 30!) My friend John came over and we played some commando game for about three hours, and then two days later we were through with it. It was dull. It was boring and lifeless once we'd mastered the levels, and I was ready to trade in video games forever for my skateboard and head outside.

Ghost Zone McGrath, you just got traded in. Now let's see what you've got.
