I've always been curious how the Kinect handles voice commands from people with terribly thick accents.. "Quicksave... [slips off mountain] Quickroad. Quickroad! QUICKROAD!!!"

I think so long as the word resembles what its meant to it works fine, so long as it picks up your voice,

Back in its early stages its motion-sensing camera didn't work properly with dark-skinned users and it doesn't understand Engrish. Damn racist machine. Tut tut.

I figured accents would naturally be a problem, but it looks surprisingly solid especially for being completely free. Not bad.

Had some very positive reviews about its functionality which people were worried about and it being responsive.

I'm still never gonna use it, but it's interesting to see a developer actually make a functional and practical use of the peripheral.

Goes to show that it can be used as an extra shortcut and make use of just voice too with the ability to quicksave without pausing and just by saying it.

KINECT: I am afraid I cannot do that, Dark Intellect.
[Get attacked from frost troll and puts pause, leans behind TV set]
KINECT: What are you doing?
KINECT: What are you doing, Dark Intellect?
[Disconnects Kinect, saves game]
Me: Microsoft bullshit.
