My concern is that I if stopped to linger on a game, my already insurmountable backlog would come crashing down upon me. So I need to move forward constantly, like a shark

I've certainly felt the walls-closing-in-paranoia of the dreaded backlog myself, but I solved it years ago by simply narrowing my tastes down and condensing them. You step back, think about the real have-to games, and buy/play them first. Then, if you have time, you get into the next tier etc. If you find that you don't get through your have-to's fast enough, well... that's okay. You're playing the very most important games anyway, so you're all right. 

It's a mindset, is what I'm trying to get at. There really isn't a deadline, only the deadlines we make for ourselves. You don't have to play everything. It's okay.
