Superhero Hate, and My Hero Academia

February 13, 2015March 27, 2015 Michaela

I’ve made it a goal of mine to try and read more manga series because, while Attack on Titan is fantastic, I feel like I’m missing out in opportunities to experience other well-written, exciting stories. I asked my friends to … Continue reading Superhero Hate, and My Hero Academia

My Love-Hate Relationship with Twilight Princess

November 21, 2014January 20, 2018 Michaela

Eight years ago (I feel old), if you had asked me what my favorite Zelda game was, without hesitation, I would have answered with Twilight Princess.

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.
