Ash Ketchum is Still the Worst Pokemon Trainer Ever

August 29, 2016April 15, 2025 Chris

NOTE: For an update after Ash’s victory in Alola, click here. Our previous post about Ash Ketchum, shamelessly titled “Ash Ketchum is the Worst Pokemon Trainer Ever,” is far and away the most popular post on the site. We’re talking … Continue reading Ash Ketchum is Still the Worst Pokemon Trainer Ever

August 23, 2016July 13, 2017 Michaela

The World Ends With You is among one of my favorite games to come out for the Nintendo DS. Critically acclaimed at the time of its release, The World Ends With You has an engaging story, interesting characters, catchy music … Continue reading My Wishlist for The World Ends With You 2

Final Fantasy IX Android Review

August 18, 2016October 20, 2017 Michaela

If you’ve kept up with my writing, then you’re probably aware of Final Fantasy IX’s status as my favorite game of all time. I’ve played the Playstation classic twice now, but with my game’s third disc on the fritz, my … Continue reading Final Fantasy IX Android Review

Video Game Minireviews Round 2

August 7, 2016October 20, 2017 Michaela

I’d like to tell you that this long hiatus was devoted to exposing myself to new video games and anime nonstop to the point that I had no time for anything else, but it was really due to needing to … Continue reading Video Game Minireviews Round 2

Music to My Ears: Event Battle

August 1, 2016September 12, 2016 Chris

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE isn’t for everyone. It’s something of an acquired taste. Combining several Shin Megami Tensei elements with the occasional Fire Emblem reference, the game essentially says “if you want a thoroughly JRPG experience where you save lives … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Event Battle

Music to My Ears: Sultana Dreaming

We haven’t talked about it on the podcast (yet), but we’ve been playing through Final Fantasy XIV off and on for the last few weeks. It’s something we had considered for a while, and we pulled the trigger when the … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Sultana Dreaming

Music to My Ears: Visions

July 18, 2016August 29, 2016 Chris

We’re on a bit of a Trails in the Sky kick lately, paying homage to a series that never received the attention in America that it should have. There’s another track from the first game that I want to talk … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Visions

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.
