I was recently playing a recent computer game, and discovered how far my experience had drifted out of line with the norm. I was trying to through an object an a character. I threw it, and it went to the left, and then I moved a bit to the right and threw it again, etc. However, it didn't seem to go *up* enough, and I couldn't see any way to control that, either from the trajectory or the place I stood.

But it turned out I was missing all the user interface clues, and what you're _supposed_ to do is move around until there's a big glowing arrow over the target's head, and THEN throw it :)
