Uh, I didn't mean to say that I don't pick up everything that can be taken. I do that too. (Although I'm not hunting the screen for them)

What I mean is, that the best games don't present their 'useable' objects too clearly. Now don't get me wrong, I don't like pixel hunting. But I don't like objects screaming "Pick me up! It is very probable that you will need me later on!" either.
