Two weeks ago I left you with the Rorschach Inkblot Test where we used Valhalla’s Halo 3 global heatmap as our image. Answers were fabulously interesting as always (you people are a fascinating, entertaining bunch!). 32% of the answers were video game related which is the highest we have seen thus far. Before we move onto this week’s test, let’s compare and contrast Valhalla’s most prominent answer along with my personal favorites.
The light show was the first person to comment on the resemblance to a pregnant woman with eight other people following suit (Louis Wu, Snatch, JawReich, Andrew Herron, NovaHunter, Angel_251, MinkOWar, and Gyser).
Elnea’s response was “I see a female superhero, most reminding me of Marvel’s Storm. I always liked the Storm of the 70’s the best. She was the only superhero female that had nice big meaty thighs and a big comfy bosom and looked HOT.” which she reinforced with an outline. She wins the cutest comment that included a picture award!
My favorite response came from BerserkerBarage who said, “It looks like “Slimer” from Ghostbusters who’s going after a cheeseburger (beach base). You can see his out-stretched hands reaching for that ever-allusive cheeseburgery goodness.” It took me a second but I finally saw it (his arms are reaching up), plus it made me giggle. Slimer rocks.
Time to move on to this week’s image. Today our Rorschach Inkblot Test map is The Pit. I see something right off the bat, but do you see the same thing? Tell me what comes to mind when you look at this image. Remember, extra nonexistent points for originality!

I see a little robot guy. In fact, I see a little robot guy I’ve seen before – but I can’t remember his name.

I see two chairs, facing the viewer, with a couple of people high-fiving each other sitting in them.
Posted by BlueNinja on February 8, 2008 at 5:01 am
It’s that Transformer icon!
Posted by BattleMaster25 on February 8, 2008 at 5:06 am
HOLY CRAP! Thats the AutoBot symbol from Transformers Generation 1, 2, and the new series, because they changed it in Beast Wars and several series after that. That is awesome!!!
Posted by Zee-V70 on February 8, 2008 at 5:24 am
Looks like a torpedo, imo.
Posted by NovaHunter on February 8, 2008 at 5:25 am
I see a Grunt’s face.

Posted by Spartan013nl on February 8, 2008 at 5:41 am
without a doubt a grunt face! gues that means my childhood was spent playing too much halo.
(my dad saw the chest of a man.)
Posted by RyJen on February 8, 2008 at 5:51 am
It’s #5 from “Short Circuit” upside down.
Posted by Tiadoplr on February 8, 2008 at 6:39 am
It’s the scales of justice!
Posted by MathijsBuster on February 8, 2008 at 6:45 am
I think it’s a wine bottle being opened by a simple bottle-opener.
I hope this doesn’t mark me down as alcoholic or anything. o_o’
Posted by Sigafoos on February 8, 2008 at 6:51 am
A fat, squat alien with either spikes coming out of its head (an odd evolutionary development) or Madonna-bra headphones. I’m not sure what the floating red is… maybe he’s got telekinesis and is hovering some stuff. Like an inanimate entourage.
Posted by sttng7 on February 8, 2008 at 7:06 am
I see two bunnies standing in front of Optimus Prime’s face.
Is that who you’re thinking of Louis?
Posted by -S- on February 8, 2008 at 7:12 am
If we’re going by the honer system here, the first thing I saw didn’t even make sense – it’s a giant Stick Figure monster coming right at you, with a TV for a head
Posted by JawReich on February 8, 2008 at 7:22 am
I see the robot from Short Circuit and he is going through a fire.
Posted by CaptainKirk91 on February 8, 2008 at 7:33 am
Looks like a girl with an emo flip over her left eye, a ponytail, and running red lipstick.
Posted by CaptainKirk91 on February 8, 2008 at 7:35 am
Oops… I thought we were doing the Valhalla one *facepalm*
The Pit: Stick figure robot with tv head on a throne.
Posted by Chaelek on February 8, 2008 at 7:49 am
Def. looks like a bomb landing in the midst of another explosion..
Posted by zukan on February 8, 2008 at 7:51 am
That’s without a doubt a bottle of Chateau Petrus from the very good 1989 vintage.
Posted by -S- on February 8, 2008 at 8:08 am
…wow someone else saw the stick figure monster with the TV head? insane minds…
Posted by Skinnydude on February 8, 2008 at 8:11 am
Looks like that one TV headed robot from FLCL….
Posted by HeftyButterfly on February 8, 2008 at 8:13 am
I see a cow’s face staring right at you – with little horns up top and a big muzzle. It’s like an extreme close-up if you were having a staring contest with it.
Posted by ChaoticAbsolution on February 8, 2008 at 8:24 am
Canti…. The robot from FLCL
Posted by ClandestineMan on February 8, 2008 at 8:36 am
I see a pair of shoes/boots. Toes sticking up as if you were looking down on them about to put them on.
Posted by ZZoMBiE13 on February 8, 2008 at 8:49 am
Pfft!
Clearly it’s a square headed child with a bozo the clown wig. screaming. You can see his uvula. He’s standing on a chair while little hellion demons swarm on either side of him.
It’s SOOO obvious.
Posted by *Butcher on February 8, 2008 at 8:50 am
I see someones lungs.
Posted by Roger on February 8, 2008 at 8:50 am

Posted by Grady on February 8, 2008 at 9:01 am
I see a Grunt, too, with the standard chipmunk-cheek breather mask, and something square on his forehead.
Posted by Craig on February 8, 2008 at 9:23 am
I see a cheerleader (with pig tails) holding pom poms out to the side while standing on two peoples sholders. The two people at the bottom are facing each other and holding hands to support the cheerleader.
Posted by Zeuss on February 8, 2008 at 9:42 am
I see a bowling pin or assorted alchohol bottle in the middle and a pair of upside-down butterfly wings.
Posted by Oakie45 on February 8, 2008 at 9:55 am
I see a Mayan Mask of some sort.
Posted by Peniamina on February 8, 2008 at 10:01 am
I definately see a grunts face with his mask on, and kinda looks like HK-47 from Star Wars:KOTOR
Posted by Crazyeye0 on February 8, 2008 at 10:03 am
I see something that slightly resembles one of those things form beautifal katamari on the top half on some sort of overturned table thing with gas coming out it’s sides.
Posted by Peniamina on February 8, 2008 at 10:08 am
the prince’s cousin the one with the square head, from Beautiful Katamar, standing on a box
Posted by Jim 028 on February 8, 2008 at 10:19 am
The first thing I thought of when I saw this heatmap is the map from Pac-man.
Posted by MathijsBuster on February 8, 2008 at 10:23 am
I’m giving it a second look here…
… and it could also be the head of a man with a mohawk watching tv. The picture is taken from the back of his head, with the tv also in view.
The blobs to the left and right are extremely fat girls dancing the can-can.
Yes, I have a very traumatized past.
Posted by Parsifal on February 8, 2008 at 10:40 am
The face of a cyborged hamster with stuffed cheek-pouches.
Posted by DragonKnight08 on February 8, 2008 at 11:16 am
I think it looks like some aztech symbol or building,yes i have a weird mind!
Posted by Yanni Oblivion on February 8, 2008 at 11:26 am
It is Donkey Kong……kinda
Posted by NsU Soldier on February 8, 2008 at 11:29 am
It looks like a weathervane, that’s on fire…and it’s irradiated.
Posted by Jonno on February 8, 2008 at 11:36 am
I see the front of a motorcycle.
The box at the top is the headlight, with the side lines being the frame heading to the front wheel. The red line along the bottom is the road, and the red blobs to upper left and right are hands holding wide handlebars (which I can see in the yellow coming from the headlight box… kinda).
The rest, the blue and yellow, kinda looks like dust swirls or exhaust. Or both.
Posted by MinkOWar on February 8, 2008 at 11:42 am
It’s a Grunt… Or Stuntmutt’s Master Chief.
And a guy with a crown, and big mutton chop beard.
Posted by Alekat on February 8, 2008 at 11:45 am
It’s clearly a robot butterfly.
Posted by Char on February 8, 2008 at 11:46 am
I see the top down view of a vertebrae from an ancient creature. Composed of living stone this behemoth relied on these super reinforced conduits to carry his will of destruction out to his powerful extreme ties. Notice that it has three Foramina (holes) the farthest up is closest to the steelen skin of the beast. The spinal nerve lies here. The center two each carry a variety of vile fluids that sustain the monster, but would boil a spartan instantly.
She is death incarnate, and this is her vertebrae.
Posted by Socket29 on February 8, 2008 at 12:32 pm
It looks like a grunt head, or, a tank from the front.
Posted by Gil on February 8, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I see two gorilla heads facing away from each other but attached by extra flesh in the center… kinda like conjoined gorilla twins. Eww.
Posted by Leihcim on February 8, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I see something that could’ve been in the Gnarls Barkley – Crazy Music Video
Posted by will on February 8, 2008 at 12:52 pm
it’s a vase…
or is it that Alf finally found his mate?
Posted by MasterCheifn on February 8, 2008 at 12:55 pm
It looks like a top down shot of a mech.
Posted by Azrylle on February 8, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I immediately thought of Number 5, the robot from Short Circuit [and am glad to see I wasn't the first to see that].
Posted by Ben on February 8, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Totally a smokers lungs.
Or the Virgin Mary.
Or Elvis.
Posted by Darthmagneto on February 8, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Looks like Olmec from Legends of the Hidden Temple.
Posted by MadPanzerguy on February 8, 2008 at 1:31 pm
It looks like an Ewok to me
Posted by w on February 8, 2008 at 1:32 pm
looks like ET hiding in the closet with all of his stuffed friends…..
Posted by Harbi Darbi on February 8, 2008 at 1:45 pm
i see the grunt face definately.
but the first thing that came to my mind was a Mech from the MechAssault/Warrior/Commander series, specifically the ShadowCar model.
Posted by WallaWalla777 on February 8, 2008 at 1:58 pm
it reminds me of one of the enemies in LoZ: Ocarina of Time. They were the ones with the rotating eyes on top of the round body, and the shot lasers out of their eye.
Posted by trigger119 on February 8, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Definitely the Autobot symbol from Transformers Generation 1, 2, and the new series.
Posted by Fee-ona on February 8, 2008 at 2:45 pm
It looks like two bunnies kissing.
Posted by Sarge Tomzilla on February 8, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Looks like a baby chick’s face from the front.
Posted by Firestorm12 on February 8, 2008 at 3:57 pm
It’s obviously Tom Servo from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Posted by Wolf on February 8, 2008 at 4:02 pm
It is a grunt’s face head-on, and he has a big, grunty thirst!
Posted by Fuseli on February 8, 2008 at 4:09 pm
I see a handle from a wall-mounted can crusher.
Posted by Friedman on February 8, 2008 at 4:26 pm

Posted by wolfy on February 8, 2008 at 6:19 pm
it also looks like a cow viewed from above (if you ignore the particals and just look at the solid lines)
Posted by Grant on February 8, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Ok… first hought was that picture they always show when explaining the female reproductive system. With the big main part and those two egg producing things on the side. Sorry if thats a horrible picture in your head. I’m 15 and male, so that’s my excuse for seeing it.
Posted by J23 on February 8, 2008 at 8:23 pm
It looks like a oddly shaped guy petting his two dogs.. or cayotes. In Cherynobel. That’d explain his shape.
Posted by Nick on February 8, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I would have to say a bottle lid opener (for beer)
Posted by Twilight Ronin on February 8, 2008 at 9:19 pm
I see Optimus Primes face. Kinda stretched though. Like he was flattened or something. Maybe just 2d instead of 3d…
Posted by PhatPanda117 on February 8, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I see a butterfly winged insect.
Posted by GH on February 9, 2008 at 1:14 am
It looks like you’re looking down the scope on a gun in COD, can’t recall which one, but it’s the Red Dot Scope.
Posted by Cherbirus on February 9, 2008 at 3:44 am
I see a heat map of the Pit
Posted by Gyser on February 9, 2008 at 4:53 am
I see that famous illusion image, which is either two faces on the outside, or a vase in the middle.
Posted by Gyser on February 9, 2008 at 4:55 am
Or, upon a second look, it looks like a Coat Of Arms, with two unicorns on either side. Not sure. Take your pick.
Posted by Max on February 9, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I see two fire-breathing horses boxing.
Posted by Dan the Stick on February 10, 2008 at 2:06 pm
It’s obviously a penguin…
Posted by Dan the Stick on February 10, 2008 at 2:07 pm

2 monkeys wearing red back-packs and sharing a keg of beer…
Posted by Dan the Stick on February 10, 2008 at 2:13 pm
2 upside-down easter island heads having a staring competition with lasers.
Posted by yayap_the_grunt on February 10, 2008 at 2:25 pm
first thing i saw was an upright piano viewed from the front with a stool in front and a music stand thing on it. But it could definitely be a grunt’s head or Stuntmutt’s MC
Posted by UEG PaniK on July 26, 2008 at 7:09 pm
I see ROB. Y’know, the “Robotic Operating Buddy” packaged with the Original NES. Ahh….. the good old days of Super Mario…..
