Examples

Mini Ninjas: In this case the player is trying to use a ________ when there are no __________ available (notice the three empty slots in the left, in the HUD).

Thief III: Deadly Shadows: When trying to conceal a body in a place that cannot fit it (in this case the player was trying to throw it through the window), Garrett emits a 'uh-uh'.

Ico: In response to Ico's invitations, Yorda expresses (in her language) her inability to reach his position.
