Rorschach Inkblot Test – Orbital
November 20, 2009 182 Comments
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!
Hawty McBloggy Invites You to Play 
Ren? (Of Ren and Stimpy fame)
It looks like an overcharged plasma pistol.
dead space plasma cutter?
We will NEVER forget!
Looks like the trade towers to me….
what are trade towers?
I sincerely hope that was a joke.
As do I. But I think you’ve got a win there, Xbx. It even has the little antenna’s on top…
Looks like the Chinese character for “Men” (Third Tone.)
It also looks like the Japanese character “Ri” [Or for those phonetic-types, “Li”].
*looks at the cold spot* a perfectly formed silenced pistol
at the hot spot theres a FAMAS, dead space plasma cutter, “devil horns” or this > \m/
Looks like a pistol with a silencer below it.
the blood of my enemies splattered along the hallways of orbital… (including grunt blood(for blue(and maybe some insect blood for the yellow (Yep that’s pretty much all my enemies))))
And yes a desert eagle or other COD MW2 pistol(silenced or maybe elongated) in the empty gap.
A pistol on the left and a knife on the right. Look sideways to see them, between the orange outlines
I’m seeing the FAMAS from Modern Warfare 2, Maybe I’m just playing it too much…
Somewhat reminds me of candles/candle holders, the old sort that hang on the walls, tried googling it but to no avail =S
Somewhat reminds me of candles/candle holders, the old sort that hang off walls, tried finding an image but no luck =S
My bad for the double post people, when I used the prior name nothing appeared, not even the “awaiting moderation” notice, so I assumed that name wasn’t allowed.
I really don’t understand why people thumb down peoples’ suggestions on here, they’re suggesting what they see on the image, how can you say they’re wrong in regards to what they see? Oh well doesn’t really matter *shrug*
one of the slicers from Dead Space…
I can see that too!
Wow… I was gonna say the Plasma Cutter from Dead space…
Dude! Me too!!!
That was exactly what I saw!
Looks a bit like dual magnums?
one is viewed from the side and the other is viewed from above and they are both firing? i see that
Staple gun?
I remember when it was Dr Robotnik… Anyway, swimming pool ladder? Imagine it as a 3D image.
After reading Jussy’s answer, I can’t see anything BUT Ren. :(
Yay!
I see a zombie bunny ^^
i gotta say i agree
More like the gamestop bunny
Ya, totally
I have no idea why, but it makes me think of Wall.E.
I see a Uterus… just kidding!
The devil with his pitchfork.
or
Mr Crab from Spongebob squarepants with a frightened look on his face.
I couldn’t agree more – that is 100% Mr. Krabs.
I definitely see the front half of a UNSC Frigate. You know, with those two booms, the top-most one containing the MAC.
Swimming pool ladder… Definitely a swimming pool ladder.
I see two fingers sticking up at me
A Magnet
It’s Awesome Smiley…But he’s more…rectangular?
yea i noticed that
Guys really? Cmon now. It’s the Golden Gate bridge!! :]
Works for me.
California FTW!
I never would have seen the Golden Gate there till you said that. Now that’s all I see.
i see a stapler
Brute Spiker, Golden Gate Bridge, and Stairs with railings on both sides.
It’s the flaming ‘rock on’ fist from the H3 Bungie icons (fist with index and pinky fingers up)!
Totally agree
That was the first thing I saw, then I just saw a gun with a bullet below?
.45 Magnum on the left
its the cooling system at the back of a freezer
Looks like that pitchfork cutaway from Hell’s Kitchen.
Simple, Bart Simpson… spiky hair and all.
I see a Halo: Combat Evolved Covenant Dropship.
That’s just how obsessive I am. I see something in one Halo game from another. lol
I totally agree, and I understand this obsession(its contagious).
further evidence —> http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p106/dabbi25/Bart_Simpson.png
looks like an egyptain god
Looks like some dude at a rock concert, raised arms, fists squeezed, and screamin’ “ROCK HARD”…lmao
At first I saw the name, “Li” but then I saw some shapes. A silenced pistol like the Auto Mag or the USP .45 is on the left in a sea of fire and blood. There’s a Lightsaber hilt in the center of the heatmap. And there’s a Flashlight on the right which apparently is having a tough time of cutting through the fire and gore. And the Lightsaber would have to be a Sith’s Lightsaber such as Darth Vader’s as only fire immediately surrounds it and blood is on either side of that. I think I’m seeing way too much…
I see a Spirit Dropship about to land on you.
Reminds me of one of those diagrams in anatomy books that shows the digestive system. The funny thing is is that there even seems to be an anus/rectum and the bottom-middle of the map.
Somehow, I see Grim Fandango.
If you turn the left-hand part 90o clockwise, and focus on the space between the red; it looks some kind of hand gun, possible with a silencer. The right-hand gap just looks like a lightsaber handle to me…. possibly too much Force Unleashed?
A magnet, tuning fork, or a poorly drawn plasma rifle/pistol.
I know someone mentioned it, but without reading their comment, I saw the FAMAS from Modern Warfare 2 as well.
I see dead people…
lol. I see living people.
Definately Oblina from Ahh Real Monsters.
I dunno. it looks like the inner workings of a taser? tazer? hell I can’t spell. You know the thing some people use to get some room in a line *cough*
The New York Giants “NY” logo or a power outlet.
I see that Alien Atomizer gun from Mothership Zeta
Am I the only one who sees this?
lol I was going to say a handgun and a hotdog.
I see a man falling while on fire…sucks for him…
that would be me
lol
I see a heatmap…. no images though :(
I cant see anything at all :(.
Oh wait. The birdseye view of a toaster
D: I see General Grevious.
Mr Krabs?
http://www.saltypig.com/blog/MrKrabs.jpg – this image is pretty close
plasma pistol if you learn you head to the left
hmmm.. I see spikers or magnums
I see a double-barrelled tazer. Turn it 90 degrees clockwise, you see the handle, the barrels, the pronges, and even the crackling electricity
I’m seeing a handgun and a tazer pointed upward both shooting off something.
Obviously the front of a UNSC frigate
It looks like either the Twin Towers or Tesla Coils.
Brute Spiker
somehow at first I saw the Spirit dropship from halo 1, but that doesnt quite work because of the extra bit coming out the side…and with the same thing, a tuning fork?
I see a skull, like a secondary one
This is most definitely what I see.
Rock on, quite.
I’m not sure…But part of it sure looks like the FAMAS rifle from MW2.
if you turn it upside down it resembles a chair
Definitely some falling tetris blocks.
Specifically an L and an I block.
An Easter Island Moai Statue. Definitely.
looks like a cut of halo 3 sniper with,…..a grenade launcher on the bottom?
(That’s not a bad idea for Halo Reach,…. Grenade launchers……..Awsome….)
Brute Spiker, or Sniper rifle stock
To me it looks like an energy sword
odd, looks like a big red pile of nothing too me!
it looks like the back of an “A-WING” you know from star wars( not an SW nerd)
turn head on right shoulder
duel plasma rifles
I am hoping with all my might no one finds this offensive, as it isn’t meant to be, and I’m not trying to make something like this into a joke. But when I saw that I saw the Twin Towers from 9/11. (Optional: Fire and smoke)
might be a bit early or late but i see the world trade centers burning
Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob or one of the pacman ghosts if u look at it upside down.
WAIT…WAIT I SEE IT! …TOAST!!!
What I see is bs angel’s double headed sex toy. See, she uses one of the two *CENSORED* shaped devices to ram into her lovely *CENSORED* while at the same moment, the second *CENSORED* shaped object, next the first, is also being thrust into the tight secludes of her *CENSORED*
The large base connecting these two *CENSORED* is used as a handle for angel’s Olympic grip, which she obtained by *CENSORED*-ing a *CENSORED* while *CENSORED*-ing two different *CENSORED* at the same time using only her *CENSORED* and her abnormally wet *CENSORED* for 45-minute-sessions, 5-times-a-day, 7-days-a-week.
I must also mention that she did all this while a *CENSORED* was lodged deep into her *CENSORED* and four other *CENSORED* were *CENSORED*-ing all over her *CENSORED* until she *CENSORED* continuously screaming “*CENSORED* my *CENSORED*-ing *CENSORED*!!! Make my *CENSORED* *CENSORED* until I can’t *CENSORED* anymore and then *CENSORED* me again. I wanna feel your *CENSORED* *CENSORED* deep in my *CENSORED*! Fill my *CENSORED* up with your *CENSORED* and then *CENSORED* the rest all over my *CENSORED*!”
She actually says more than this but the rest includes 98% censored words and frankly I’m tired of pasting the word *CENSORED*
As you can see from the evidence above, bs angel is clearly a *CENSORED* and we love her for it :)
you really put a lot of thought into that, didn’t you. oh well. your story above is *CENSORED* amazing.
*CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED*!
it’s DEFINITELY bs angel. no doubt about it
I see a rune from Eternal Darkness.
Actually, I see a silenced pistol and its clip beside it, lying in a pool of blood.
the right kinda looks like a pitchfork
It looks like a gun and an extra barrel (if you look inside the red lines, the gun is on the left, with the grip pointing to the right, the hammer pointing down, and the barrel pointing up). The spot outlined to the left looks about the same size as the “gun’s” barrel…just my thought.
(BTW< I just noticed that ||| bRian ||| saw pretty much the same thing…)
Something is making me think swastika.
definitely Mr Krabs
I see catdog! from that old cartoon it looks like their two heads
I think it looks like a helmet from the side.
sideways spiker
Definitely a walker, (you know, like for old people.) It’s just upside down.
I see the World Trade Center.
I see a gun smoking a cigarette…
A vertical “Pillar of Autumn”.
Looks like the Plasma Cutter from the game Dead Space
Pingback: Top Posts « WordPress.com
It looks the cover art for Coldplay’s X & Y album.
It first looked like the giant sling shot Bungie will soon construct, but now it looks like the Halo CE Dropship.
Spitfire flame-on head
Rotated 90 degrees to the left it reminds me of the Scion XB.
I didn’t see anything but an IR signature so decided to use the ‘hidden picture’ technique after I read other’s comments. Unfortunately that, and someone’s “lightsaber” comment, left me thinking of ‘Mallrats’ and now all I can see is that (gratuitous BLAM inserted here) SAILBOAT!!!!
no way guys it’s either the golden gate bridge or the character Fallen from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
The Shocker
It looks like the DareDevil symbol to me.
Flip the picture 90degrees clockwise, looks like how the police hold a gun (on the top) and hold a torch (or a knife) underneath
Missingno. Definitely Missingno.
I’ll have to add another vote for the Plasma Cutter of Dead Space. Saw it before I read the comments.
Also kinda looks like a handheld tazer. But mostly a plasma cutter.
Oddly enough the first thing i thought of was a magnet from microman. I dunno why, i haven’t played that for like 8 years.
Here’s a link to a picture of one. Not quite the same version of the game i had but anyways:
It’s the machine inside the clock tower in Myst (the first game)
If I’d been in time for Heretic, I would have said an overhead view of the Skyscraper battle map in Mario Kart 64.
Orbital looks like that flaming Sign of the horns hand emblem on Halo 3.
if you turn it i see a gun a scope four bullets and a mag
lol?
i think i have a wicked personality!
it looks like a magnum with a flashlight below it.
I see a Smiley face. Then I see a pistole and FAMAS.
its looks like the aliens from district 9
I think it looks like a power outlet or electrical socket
I think it looks like Mr Crabs. Off spongebob
I was thinking this too, its uncanny
looks like a more geometric version of a plasma rifle to me.
I see one of those ladders they have in public pools.
I see shoes if you rotate it left. I also see a bridge and mr. krabs as mentioned above.
Twin Towers
If you look at it sideways, it looks like a plasma rifle!
it looks like a guy sitting down shooting plasma rifles into the air.
I think it looks more like a Spiker actually…
OMG….it looks like mr. krabs eyes from spongebob…..and i also agree with whoever said the twin towers.
I see the devil horns people put up at rock concerts.
You know.. the rock on sign?
Especially like the emblem in Halo 3.
seriously…
I see an old person’s walker, like such: http://bit.ly/58vWzM
I think it looks like upside down acrobatic rings with the ceiling tethers shaped like a maze. The rings of the of the figure are rectangles, with the hand grips made out of some sort of energy.
looks like the rabbit thing from gamestop
Looks kind of like a pistol with a flashlight attached, but that could just be Left 4 Dead 2 talking.
an off balance star cruiser
exploding power/plasma relay,or a map layout from one of bungie’s older games or a map layout of a halo 1,2 or 3 map
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man.
That is all.
Optimus Prime. I’m not sure why.
looks like Ren from Ren and Stimpy
My first impression was definitely a spirit drop ship. A little less creative was a tuning fork :P
Looks like a pistol with an unloaded clip
It’s WILSON!!!! WILSOOOON!!!!
That, or an AT&T commercial.
I see a Dunov class battlecruiser from sins of a solar empire
I see the underside of a Halo: CE phantom. The tuning-fork fuselage and the turret in the bottom rear.
looks like my colinoscopy xray….but much cleaner!!!!!!
2 assault rifles, both pointing up, barrels farther away from each other.
It looks like the Auto Mag – M6C/SOCOM of Halo 3: O.D.S.T.
Looks to me (with the addition of the outline of the map)
like a SPARTAN LAZARRRRR ;D
it looks like the inside of a submarine to me…….cpt chair, dropping scope thingy and a radar on the wall
It looks like either a H&K USP .45 with a under-rail mounted flashlight/laser/knife combo
OR
One of those “FPS PC Mice” that is shaped like a pistol with a flat base
OR
REALLY looks like the plasma cutter from Dead Space
I see a silenced .45(1911) with a tactical knife…
It looks suspiciously like a heatmap don’t you think?
Personally, I think it looks like a Marathon Class Crusier near the Cairo Station
