All I can say is: how can you have a copy of FTL: Faster Than Light that you've never played. That game's awesome.

I have a Steam backlog, too, but it's nowhere near as long as yours. I have a book "waiting list": I wouldn't call it a backlog, because the rate at which books are added to it fluctuates and books rarely "jump the queue", so there's nothing on there that I'll never get to: it's just a matter of time.

When I'm under pressure and doing too much, I get a backlog of emails, especially in my personal account. I try to process to Inbox Zero, but I can only manage it on a good day. On a bad day, it's far too easy to slip into the habit of using by inbox as a to-do list, which in turn only generates more stress - I've got to get better at that.

I've got a slight backlog of board games: I think I've only got two board games (and, separately, two expansions) that I own but have never played, but I'd probably have more if my partner hadn't had me agree to a moratorium on more board games purchases until we'd at least played everything that I already owned.

Oh, and I've got a little backlog on paperwork relating to my dad's estate: it's taken far too long (he died almost a year ago) to get things underway, owing to some legal complications, but now that we're finally moving I've got a heap of paperwork I need to do that I simply haven't found time for. I've learned a lot about being an executor this last year, and my god there's a lot of stuff that you (potentially) have to do!
