Rorschach Inkblot Test – Epitaph
January 11, 2008 46 Comments
Last week’s Rorschach Inkblot Test using Construct’s Halo 3 global heatmap was very enlightening. Out of almost 80 answers, 26% were video game-related, with 18.5% being Halo specific. The top answers were body organs (specifically brains and hearts) and horseshoe crabs. Let’s do a few picture comparisons before we move on to this week’s Rorschach Inkblot Test.
I would say both of those are pretty spot on, especially the crab. My two favorite answers were NsU Soldier with “A cupcake complete with a single candle” and Jordan saying “It looks like an infested toilet seat that you find at public restrooms… you know, the kind that people have a problem with flushing so when you have to go pee, you see the toilet filled with feces. And god knows what else that’s been brewing in there for a few days.“. Yummy for both!
So this week our Rorschach Inkblot Test image is Epitaph. What do you see? As always, extra nonexistent points awarded for originality.

looks like the aliens from The Simpsons.
It’s a stand up microphone, the kind that’s have the station ID placed over the center of the stabilizing ring.
That or the bloody severed stump of a metal kid’s arm (with the bracelet). But that’s just because of the red.
wow, hard. One of those creepy face-attaching tools from the movie ‘Saw’
Whoa. First thing that came to mind was Jason, from Friday the 13th.
Some sort of horribly deformed girl, or an odd power drill.
Kinda’ looks like Darth Malak’s head from KoTOR, complete with the jaw mask that he wears.

The floorplan for a cathedral.
Looks like a girl scout with pig tails holding out a box of cookies to me!
an airplane from WWII
the plane is pointing ^.
the propeller on the front, then the cockpit, wings, and even a forked tail,
machine guns on the wings are firing forward, smoke or fuel is leaking out of the back of the wings
It kind of looks like Doctor Robotnic from Sonic the Hedgehog.
hannibal lector wearing that face guard thing.
An alien with five eyes and pigtails, playing a synth
Actually, looks like the F-38 Lightning used by the USAAF in World War Two.
It’s the Punisher skull wearing a ten-gallon cowboy hat.
My mistake, P-38.
It’s a mideval chanedelier of course.
Honestly, first thing that came to mind was Epitaph from above, with the lower level filled with a pool of blood.
I suck at this.

it’s an ovehead view of two people sitting about to eat dinner on a long table.

Looks kinda like a double sided wedding cake…..
That or a cathedral.
Have to agree. A mauler from the top.
an overhead view of a sled, but the sled is being bolted down by a big metal plate with circular holes in it for the bolts
One of those mini Merry-Go-Rounds on the playground. You know, like the one you used to spin your sister on until you got in trouble because you were spinning her too fast and (despite her crys to “STOP”) she lost her grip and hit her head on a nearby tree. WTF was that tree doing so close anyway?
It’s a crown.
It’s you’re pissed off girlfriend the night after the huge party.
Seriously though, it looks like a Celtic cross.
A Kushan multi-gun corvette.

looks kinda like a hunter’s armgun.

a bus being crushed by one of those junkyard crushers
I see a tree being absorbed by its surrounding, slowly dying.
Holes burst out from its inner cores, trying to breathe..but little by little its quietly suffocating.
I agree with Captainkirk91 as it’s obviousl;y a Girl Scout with pigtails holding out a box of cookies.
Some sort of weird Alien Skull. Maybe some kind of space craft.
hm… cruciform plan, short nave, wide transept, round ambulatory at the end — it looks really similar to the plan of Chartres Cathedral. http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/arch/gothic/Chartpln.jpg
Or… i’ve been studying architectural history too much.
It is… MEGATRON!!!
it looks like some kind of strange gun turret
