Rorschach Inkblot Test – Heretic

It’s been a while since we’ve done a Halo 3 Heatmap Rorschach Inkblot Test, almost seven months to the day to be exact. That number seemed ripe for a comeback so I would like to propose that we take a one week break from Friday Caption Fun to try our hand at deciphering another amorphous image. Well, I guess I’m not exactly proposing as much as I am forcing it upon you but why fight about the particulars when we can instead get down and dirty with some peer psychoanalyzing! We last left off with Assembly, where the majority of people obviously had Halo on the brain. Alessandro first noted the resemblance to the Spark that is Guilty while Queen 0f Blades thought of the rather explosive trip mine.

While numerous people followed suit with the Halo references (with even Forerunner symbols being brought up by pittofdoom), an equal number of people, the first of which was DeepCee,  saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex skull.

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Assembly

Whenever we are blessed with a new batch of multiplayer maps, I always get excited for two primary reasons. The first one is playing on them of course, and the second one is getting a chance to revisit one of my favorite frivolous Friday activities, the Halo 3 Heatmap Rorschach Inkblot Tests. Basically we look at a global heatmap and attempt to decipher exactly what it looks like. Before we dig into a new image, let’s recap the last one we did which was an astounding five months ago. When faced with the image of Cold Storage, Skibur said it looks like 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.” While I instantly saw what he was referring to, the most popular answer (first given by Crunchbite) was that of an iron.

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Cold Storage

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!

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Avalanche

We haven’t done a Rorschach Inkblot Test activity in a while, primarily because we breezed our way through the majority of the Halo 3 Global Heatmaps we were using for our images. I feel like changing things up a bit this week though so I am temporarily interrupting our regularly scheduled Friday Caption Fun to bring back an old favorite.

The last time we did this interpretive activity we used the rather intriguing image of Blackout. The striking similarity to female reproductive organs was first noted by pwkwsfi and then quickly seconded by -S-, Kyle, Dan, and Azrylle.
