Rorschach Inkblot Test – Blackout

Our Rorschach Inkblot Test activities formally ended back in February. When the Legendary Map Pack was released (along with three corresponding heatmaps), I began getting requests to start them up again. Apparently people enjoyed analyzing their own and possibly even each other’s entertaining, often hilarious answers. I’m game if you’re game so for a limited time only the inkblot tests are back!

We never examined the answers from our last inkblot activity so that gives us a great place to start. Back on February 15th we used the global heatmap from Foundry which definitely sparked everybody’s imagination. Nick Manning was the first person to notice the resemblance to a face hugger from the Alien film series, and Twilight Ronin, nyota0uhura, wolfy, the other dark, and Nace all saw something disgustingly similar.

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Foundry

The Rorschach Inkblot Tests we have been doing every Friday have been an absolute blast. Some of the responses are hilariously entertaining, others are deeply insightful, but they are all quite interesting. Today’s inkblok test will be the last one (we’ll start a new activity next Friday) so let’s enjoy it!

Last week we used The Pit’s Halo 3 global heatmap as our image and for the first time, the most popular response was Halo related. It’s crazy it took this long! Another response that was heard a few times over is a personal favorite childhood toy of mine so I was excited to see that one as well. I didn’t see either of these things when looking at the image the first time, but once I read the responses, of course they instantly appeared.

NovaHunter first noticed the resemblance to a Grunt’s face. Spartan013nl, wolfy, Dan the Stick, Grady, MinkOWar, Socket29, Harbi Darbi, Wolf, and yayap_the_grunt all saw the same thing.

Rorschach Inkblot Test – The Pit

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).

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Valhalla

I liked last week’s Rorschach Inkblot Test using Last Resort’s Halo 3 global heatmap because it showed more common interests we all seem to share. There were four different answers that showed up time and time again so I am going to compare and contrast all of those. They are just too awesome to narrow down any further.

Darklotusspartan started off the Star Wars theme with cappy, Grant, Craig, Sgt Nomad Zero, ckamp, www, IcemanX, corinthus, and Ben all showing their love for the same movie as well.

Rorschach Inkblot Test – Last Resort

Last week’s Rorschach Inkblot Test using Epitaph’s Halo 3 global heatmap was particularly interesting because while there were a few people who agreed about what they saw, the vast majority of the answers were unique. This time around only 15.5% of the answers were video game related compared to 26% the week before. Since there wasn’t a prevalent answer, I will compare and contrast my favorite two answers in images.

Susie said it resembled a “cruciform plan, short nave, wide transept, round ambulatory at the end — it looks really similar to the plan of Chartres Cathedral.” (BlueNinja and Skinnydude said something similar as well.)
