I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Like most things, there are good and bad implementations and seeing it too frequently can make it become annoying. I love it for things like Alien/Predator style games that are using something from the movies, or maybe a Batman game if used in moderation.

It does get to be tedious when you can only interact with certain objects by using it first and that kind of game play can be annoying. No, I can't think of an example off the top of my head but I'm certain I've run into that kind of thing before.

Dragon Age: Inquisition. I can literally see the thing that I need to loot right there, but I can't pick it up unless I press the little pingy button first.
