Rorschach Inkblot Test – Cold Storage
October 24, 2008 51 Comments
I am totally stoked about the upcoming release of Halo 3′s Mythic Map Pack and not for the reason why you might expect. I’m excited because that means there will be fresh maps for one of my favorite Friday Antics activities, the Rorschach Inkblot Tests! Yes, I’m tickled pink at the prospect of playing on them as well but I just have so much fun hearing about the not so random images all of you see in the various global heatmaps. Eight tests later and I am convinced some of you are just as twisted as I am. Don’t worry though, I won’t tell anybody if you don’t.
Before we tackle one of the newer maps, let’s recap the last Rorschach Inkblot Test we did back in July which featured everybody’s favorite snowy map Avalanche. Dakota the Wolf was the first person to comment on the resemblance to a bra, and yayap_the_grunt, Jonathan B, and Dan the Stick quickly following suit. I can definitely see it, plus a little more. Let’s just say that is one cold map!
Other notable answers include newguy2445 with Mjolnir armor and mendicantbias00 saying, “Maybe it’s just me…but if you turn it upside down…I totally see Weird Al.” I’ve gotta say, that’s definitely just you Mendi! Perhaps some of you will see something just as odd in this next image. This time we’re using the global heatmap of Cold Storage for your ninth enlightening psychological evaluation. So tell me, what do you see? And as always, extra nonexistent points for originality!
BFG 9000. Yup….definitely BFG 9000
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG_9000
Rotate the entire image 180 degrees, and it looks like some sort of short-stacked humanoid assault drone. O_o
………….
Complete with eyes. O_O
It’s one of the racetracks from that Star Wars Pod Racing game a few years back. (We played it on a Dreamcast, but I’m sure it was available for the PS2…)
Dead Space plasma cutter, all the way.
If you let your eyes relax like you’re looking at one of those magic eye pictures, it forms the word “f**k”.
A guy who has just done a poop on the floor, and is walking on his knees to a desk with a computer on it.
that cliche movie scene where the two lovers are running at eachother in open arms. oh and the splotch on the left indicates that shatting had just occurred within the left ones bowels :)
It’s an iron! and is that an eye I see on the top left corner?
yeah that eye is freaking me out too…
BFG 9000 with eye
BFG9000, and i also see 2 faces, think resident evil and look at the left side. you have the eye and there is also a small nose and lips, right below the eye you could be looking THROUGH the skin.
also look at the bottom of the pic, mis-shapen eyes and a small mouth screaming…
Now that I look at it again….I see a skull/sign of the phantom right smack in the middle.
Like its right on top of the BFG
Wha-what’s that Cold Storage? You say that you got some hidden heatmap secret for us? Well you do kinda look like a UNSC canteen or some kind of container…perhaps to store cold liquids? We may never know.
Looks like a tank, especially an M4 Sherman with its turret facing backwards.
its a fantastic contraption, http://fantasticcontraption.com/
That is definitely an iron!
OR, if your flip it upside down…it’s Kilroy!
Godzilla on his knees facing an AT-AT, his arms extended for a hug.
I see the word “Stop”… weird
Turn it upside down it could be ane elephant…the vehichle not the animal
It’s an Iron
Ok, it’s a guy on the right who is pointing and calling out the cucumber on the left who just left some… stuff… on the floor! Look at the black not the color!
A Shoe or an Iron.
“That is definitely an iron!
OR, if your flip it upside down…it’s Kilroy!”
That’s what I saw too…
Ok it probably is just me this time…but if you turn this one upside down…It looks like Weird Al too!
:D
I see a trumpet (or some other brass/wind instrument; I don’t know their names).
Histological cross section of the renal cortex. Sort of.
It looks like a vertical view of pants when you’re putting them on… Or taking them off
hey i to see the bfg and i see F5
The logo on a trendy American Eagle shirt.
Instantly thought “It’s a mauler”
Further inspection reveals the Jawa crawler upside down.
Heh… I’m definitely seeing something when I turn it upside-down.
It is a school bus:

(Whoever’s moderating can just not approve this comment if the links in my first comment do, in fact, work…)
i see a trumpet (or a cornet cos its shorter) with the horn bit cut off. Also the bigger middle blob could be a skull.
it’s a tank. you can see the treads, the turret and the gun
BFG 9000 or the Sherman Tank
Looking at it the way it is right now, I see one of those hand-saws.
it’s one of those mouse-droids

Definitely a series of tubes.
And if you look at the middle of the heatmap right, there is a vertical computer case with a computer monitor above it to the right.
I see a mail truck. Also, if you flip it upside down it’s a ghost looking over an anvil.
Oh, I thought this was going to be a ‘Watchmen’ reference. Nevermind. :D
i think is looks like a jawa sand crawler on its back
The Johnny Cab from Total Recall.

I see a Flood Juggernaut. It totally fits Cold Storage!
upside down super intendant
Upside down it looks like the Sandcrawler for Star Wars episode IV
It looks like a man and a woman running for each other to hug each other, its outlined in red, the woman on the left and the man on the right
a butcher knife with the blade pointed up.
I see a folded up B-1 Battle Droid
Duh, it’s totally a Halo PC flamethrower! why couldn’t you think of this? FOR SHAME.
If you turn it to the right, it’s a bottle of bleach/detergent. It’s clear enough.
