Rorschach Inkblot Test – Heretic
October 23, 2009 352 Comments
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!
Somewhat reminds me of the Big Daddy’s helmet.
Bouncer!
First thing I saw
For a second there I thought you were saying you were sodomized …
win
I saw an old fashioned diving suit helmet.
Hockey goalie helmet.
With this “inside look”, I think we have finally discovered why people who use the “fishbowl” / E.V.A. helemts seem to have a higher death-rate than others; they’ve got part of the helmet running right across their line-of-sight! Of course, that theory doesn’t apply in Sniper matches…
