Music to My Ears: Believe in Me

January 23, 2017January 30, 2017 Chris

We’ve covered the Tales series in other posts on the site before, but after looking at the opening for Xillia, I figured it would be worth checking out one of the other really good songs from the game. “Believe in … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Believe in Me

Good Video Game Couples – Noctis and Luna

January 21, 2017March 7, 2017 Michaela

I’m a sucker for romance in stories, but I’ve found that over the years, I have pretty high expectations for what a good couple should look like. I’ve talked a lot about anime couples that I think fit the mold … Continue reading Good Video Game Couples – Noctis and Luna

The Quick and the Queer – Short LGBT+ Book Reviews, pt 1

January 17, 2017March 10, 2017 M Webber

  (I promise the above picture of Sufjan Stevens is at least sort of relevant. Kind of. *squint*) Because I have decided to have absolutely no chill in the Year of our Lord 2017, I’ve already read four books since … Continue reading The Quick and the Queer – Short LGBT+ Book Reviews, pt 1

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “It’s Like a Small Light,” Sayuri

January 14, 2017March 7, 2017 Michaela

I haven’t talked much about anime endings in this series of posts, but Erased’s is certainly a notable one. It takes a much more stylized direction with its art style and colors, weaving abstract images and scenes together to create … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “It’s Like a Small Light,” Sayuri

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Kaze no Uta,” Flow

January 7, 2017March 7, 2017 Michaela

With season 2 of Tales of Zestiria the X underway, it reminded me of how much I enjoy the opening of the first season. I’ve talked about another opening Flow has done before, and this song also proves to be … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Kaze no Uta,” Flow

Music to My Ears: Progress

January 2, 2017February 27, 2017 Chris

Today marks the beginning of another long-form playthrough on the YouTube channel, now that we’ve burned through a ton of episodes of Trivia Murder Party and other friends from the Jackbox Party Pack. We’ve sort of been filling in the … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Progress

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “H.T.,” Tsuneo Imahori

December 31, 2016March 4, 2017 Michaela

The opening of Trigun is pretty unique because of its lack of lyrics. Despite that, it’s an extremely catching and fun song to listen to. The opening itself features mostly establishing shots of the characters and the setting, although there … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “H.T.,” Tsuneo Imahori

Insert Corny Pun Here: Why Maize is One of My Favorite Games of 2016

December 28, 2016March 7, 2017 M Webber

2016 has been a red-hot dumpster fire. I haven’t been able to muster up the courage to even turn on the news since November, though I can’t seem to escape any of it no matter how hard I try. And … Continue reading Insert Corny Pun Here: Why Maize is One of My Favorite Games of 2016

Merry Christmas from At the Buzzer!

December 24, 2016January 2, 2017 Gray Areas

A holiday tradition around these parts is to take a week off for Christmas. This year is no exception — there won’t be a new episode of the show this week, and videos will go on hiatus from today through … Continue reading Merry Christmas from At the Buzzer!

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “History Maker,” Dean Fujioka

December 23, 2016March 4, 2017 Michaela

Last summer I made a series of posts about my favorite anime openings and endings. Now the list continues in this series of winter edition posts! Is it really a surprise that I’m talking about a song from the show … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “History Maker,” Dean Fujioka

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.
