Well I want to go back, so this is just more improvements to look forward to on my next run.

I know FUS RO DA, and SKI DOOSH. And that's about it... and I think I got the second one wrong. So no, your nerd cred is in check.

Heh, Kung Fu.

I use Thu' Mic and definitely think it adds to the game. This just looks like a better version of it with the map and item sorting bit. I honestly dont see what "kinect" has to do with it though, they are simply voice commands and should be implemented across all systems that can use a mic.

That said, yes you can hotkey spells/items/shouts but only so many. Being able to shout any one of them is indeed a time saver and (this is a big one for me) has me using shouts I did not use often when assigned to a hotkey.

I only knew Fus Ro Dah at first but am now quite comfy with fire, ice, time slow and dragonrend as well. I sort my magic by shouts (sky ui) and they are only a tab key away if I need a quick reference.

Anyways, this needs to be patched into the PC version.

I want to hack it so it takes the old Bruce Lee surprise kick "Bacaaaahck!" Sound as one of the shouts.

Wait... the Skyrim shouts were inspired by Bruce Lee?

Nope, you're not alone. I'll recognize that they're shouts from the game when people say them, but I never paid much attention to the words themselves.

Hopefully this will be available on pc as well. I'm a big fan of voice commands used well for commanding npcs, though I would prefer a better designed interface from the start over voice commands that make it easier to manage.

Now that it's Kinect supported, will that allow me to sign the shouts instead of vocally saying the shouts?
