Rorschach Inkblot Test – Orbital

Rorschach inkblot tests provide incredible insight into a person’s personality characteristics and emotional functioning. Regardless of the type of ambiguous design displayed, the answers and information gleaned from them are always fascinating. We’ve learned a tremendous amount about each other through our regular Halo 3 Heatmap tests, and I have no doubt today will prove just as entertaining as previous ones. Before we analyze another image though, let’s take a look at the results from the last one we did which took place back in October. The featured map was Heretic and Not Funny kicked off the comments with a Big Daddy reference. Entirely too many people to count found themselves agreeing.

Other video games are usually a popular answer during these festivities, but someone always brings it back to Halo. DieByYourUncleBob insisted the image bore resemblance to the Grunt Head emblem and numerous others, along with myself, saw it as well.

A few other interesting answers included mendicantbias00 saying Lego Princess Leia and Louis Wu citing Dr. Eggman. Unable to choose my favorite between the two, I thought I would leave it up to all of you to decide which one more resembles the Midship remake.

Right as we ran out of room for picture comparisons, I came across Noah’s response of goatse. Talk about bad timing! Unfortunately I’ll have to leave you to judge the similarity of the images in your head as it’s now time to dissect yet another Halo 3 Global Heatmap. The subject of our twelfth enlightening psychological evaluation is Orbital, a docking-station featuring two overlapping hallways. So tell me, what exactly do you see? And as always, extra nonexistent points for originality!

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Heretic

bs angel — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:03:47 +0000

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.

While I have no idea what people will see in this week’s Global Heatmap, I look forward to the very small glimpse it allows me into each of your twisted minds. The subject of our eleventh enlightening psychological evaluation is Heretic, the bane of my I-suck-with-the-br existence dating all the way back to Halo 2. Instead of getting sidetracked with a rant about the horrors of spawning with a plasma rifle, I will instead ask you, “What do you see?” And as always, extra nonexistent points for originality!

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.

Jordan117 saw something a little more unique and after looking at the provided evidence, I don’t know how this wasn’t more obvious at first glance.

I’m pretty sure Jordan wins the internet with that response. People also commented on the eye in the top left corner. Scary eye is scary! What’s with eyes in Halo images anyways? Before I get more creeped out than I already am, let’s move onto our tenth enlightening psychological evaluation. This week we are dissecting the global heatmap of Assembly so go ahead and tell me, what do you see? And as always, extra nonexistent points for originality!

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!

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!

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Avalanche

bs angel — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:00:02 +0000

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.

There are certainly some parallel characteristics between the images. I guess a few people were paying attention to the Human Reproduction chapter in Science, eh? This week in an effort to delve deep into your psyche (that was probably the wrong phrase to use after referring to the female reproductive system), I present you with another map to interpret, this time being Avalanche. So tell me, what do you see? And as always, extra nonexistent points for originality!
