Ridelle is the Best Part of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright

September 12, 2014October 20, 2017 Michaela

When I play video games, I have certain criteria for qualities a character should have in order for me to like and appreciate them. 1) They must have a distinct, memorable personality that’s likable and genuine. 2) They must have … Continue reading Ridelle is the Best Part of Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright

A crossover between two popular franchises?! Sold! Professor Layton … Continue reading Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Review: The First 10 Hours

Note: This article is inspired by a speech I wrote for Academic Decathlon in my senior year of high school. I’ve rewritten it in article form to make it less dramatic and more concise. Enjoy! For years, I’ve been arguing … Continue reading Sad vs Happy Endings – Which is Better?

Why Kingdom Hearts’ Roxas Is a Great Character

July 4, 2014March 4, 2017 Michaela

Kingdom Hearts is among one of my favorite video game series with its likeable characters, charming Disney worlds, and mature (albeit convoluted) story. When I first immersed myself into the series with Chain of Memories, I annoyed everyone I knew … Continue reading Why Kingdom Hearts’ Roxas Is a Great Character

Attack on Titan: No Regrets Review

June 20, 2014March 4, 2017 Michaela

Attack on Titan’s explosive popularity has led to various spin-off series being published. From comedies to prequels, they all sounded like they’d be interesting, entertaining reads, but the one that piqued my interest the most was the spin-off titled No … Continue reading Attack on Titan: No Regrets Review

Sci-Fi Hate, and Steins;Gate

June 7, 2014January 20, 2015 Michaela

I’ve never been a huge fan of sci-fi. I know a lot of people who simply love it, but I’m not one of those people. With a few exceptions, the genre as a whole bores me to tears. It feels … Continue reading Sci-Fi Hate, and Steins;Gate

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.
