Travis Woo on burnout / being satisfied
(update, to add another recent column covering similar issues)
I typically scoff at videos of people talking somberly into their cameras (I do my vanity whining the right way, in audio-only form) but I think there's really good stuff in this video from Travis Woo.
Obviously, he's on a much higher level than me but I can relate the feelings he's expressing down to my own level. I love MTG, it just captures my imagination like nothing else, but I've gotta keep everything in perspective. I cannot get down in the dumps when I screw the pooch at FNM. I must resist the temptation to overspend - Lord knows I've got more important things to budget for.
So it's just about striking the right balance. This game is insanely mega-fun for me and I want to make sure it stays that way. I'm planning to host a draft night amongst friends soon, I could pee my pants I'm so excited. I also started slapping together a pair of EDH decks which, I think, will be a lot of fun to whip out with pals who haven't played in a while.
So, whatever you're into, try to keep it in the right place.
