My Top 5 Favorite Moments in Final Fantasy IX

February 5, 2016March 4, 2017 Michaela

So apparently Final Fantasy Explorers came out recently. I was almost interested in it (because the 3DS is my most played system, so any time there’s a new game out for it I get excited). But then I realized that … Continue reading My Top 5 Favorite Moments in Final Fantasy IX

How Metal Gear Solid 2 Made Me Love The Series

December 18, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

I’m not a fan of the shooter genre. My preferences in video games are pretty limited, and I stick largely with RPG’s and platformers or puzzle games, with unconventional fighting games like Super Smash Bros. sprinkled in the mix. I … Continue reading How Metal Gear Solid 2 Made Me Love The Series

Why Are There No Playable Female Characters in Final Fantasy XV?

December 2, 2015January 14, 2016 Michaela

Final Fantasy XV is finally going to be released sometime next year, and watching the trailers and listening to the incredible music by Yoko Shimomura has made me pretty excited for this game. But one thing I noticed that seemed … Continue reading Why Are There No Playable Female Characters in Final Fantasy XV?

Steven Universe and Adventure Time are currently some of the most popular cartoons on television – and they’re both really good. Kids are lucky to have good, mature shows like these on TV these days. Now it’s only fair to … Continue reading Adventure Time vs Steven Universe

How Recap Episodes Ruin Anime

October 23, 2015January 20, 2018 Michaela

I’ve been noticing the common recurrence of the recap episode inserted halfway through an anime. Essentially retelling the story within a single episode, recap episodes give the illusion of being important, and I used to watch them specifically for that … Continue reading How Recap Episodes Ruin Anime

I’ve been sitting on reviewing several of these anime for a while now, but now I’ve finally found the time to post these scores. As always, these scores are based on quality and whether or not I’d recommend these shows … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 8

Final Fantasy Record Keepers Review: A Strong First Impression of Mobile Gaming

September 25, 2015November 25, 2015 Michaela

For the past four years, I owned a slide phone with the keyboard (super old-fashioned these days), but after the audio quit working, I decided to finally upgrade and move up in the world with a smart phone. While I … Continue reading Final Fantasy Record Keepers Review: A Strong First Impression of Mobile Gaming

My Top 10 Favorite Zelda Dungeons

September 11, 2015July 12, 2017 Michaela

One of the strongest aspects of the Zelda series is the incorporation of clever puzzles in uniquely themed dungeons. They comprise a good majority of the games, but despite that, each dungeon feels new and refreshing. I can’t wait for … Continue reading My Top 10 Favorite Zelda Dungeons

Gray Areas

Gray Areas is a pop culture extravaganza with a live weekly podcast every Thursday night, daily Let's Play videos, and a bevy of old blog posts for your enjoyment.

The current crew includes Chris, Dave and Shaun, who have been there since the beginning, and Cody, who joined in 2021. We also have other contributors like Michaela who chip in from time to time.

We cover everything from video games, anime and movies to music, books and idiots in the news.

This whole thing was started as At the Buzzer in February 2011, the brainchild of three men desperate for attention. It became Objection Network in 2017 and then this in 2024. It’s slightly related to an old Flagstaff radio show from 2008, kinda like how Frasier was slightly related to Cheers. In other words, we're all getting old and it's a little depressing.
