Has anybody waited to the last minute of an indie bundle because their backlog is so out of control they want to desperately get some games off their backlog before adding even more?
I just got hit by three bundles almost in a row and the the new Fanatical one looks pretty good. :(

That's me, i hope something better show up so i can skip some bundle.
So whenever they finished before the end date, and actually was good bundle, I complaint and hate my self.

Nope, usually if I'm not motivated enough to buy a bundle, there isn't a lot of difference between minute 1 and minute last.

If having a backlog is reason enough to skip a bundle, then it means the bundle is not interesting enough, broadly speaking. There were few instances of regretting not buying a bundle (some Monthlies that turned out stupid good, for the most part), but on average, that was pretty effective for me.

For some games, deciding whether I'm interested may be easier than for others, though. If anything, there may have been more bundles where I've slightly regretted not being sure enough before buying.

I actually tried to fund-raise myself from my only friend left even baiting him as to how he could benefit if he reselled it, for buying the Overwatch bundle, but no, it did not happen. :(

If I want to buy something I'll get it ASAP unless my hands are full. I try to do what I want to do right away, not a type that delays until the last second possible. More hassle than benefit.

I don't really worry about my backlog being too big, nowadays I try to get my hands on the games I want to play and when they're in a bundle I pick them up and play them immediately. I don't really have the kind of money to buy every bundle available always, so being limited really helps me focusing on picking up the best choice for my library. But asking yourself "Am I going to play a game from this bundle this week?" is always a good question to ask yourself as well. If the answer is no, why even buy it? The desire to play should be above the desire to own.
