Music to My Ears: Gate of Steiner

April 2, 2015May 16, 2015 Chris

We’ve talked several other times on this site about the magnificence of Steins;Gate, but there hasn’t been much mention of the music. Time to change that. Between the visual novel and the anime, Steins;Gate features several tracks that leave a … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Gate of Steiner

An Explanation of the Overarching Narrative in Kingdom Hearts

March 13, 2015March 4, 2017 Michaela

Some people would argue that the plot of Kingdom Hearts has become rather convoluted over the years. However, with every installment, I’m seeing a concise, overarching narrative coming together. The more I revisit the games, it’s only plain to see … Continue reading An Explanation of the Overarching Narrative in Kingdom Hearts

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

Missing the Mark: Why the 2015 Royal Rumble was Disappointing

February 3, 2015February 27, 2015 Chris

I know, we don’t really cover wrestling a lot around here. Or at all. Just bear with me here. Last weekend was the second-biggest event of the year, the Royal Rumble. The Rumble sets the stage for the next few … Continue reading Missing the Mark: Why the 2015 Royal Rumble was Disappointing

January 30, 2015March 7, 2017 Michaela

Love triangles are among one of the most commonly used plot devices in modern young adult fiction, and the source of their popularity and implications irk me to no end. The overused, run-in-the-ground love triangle has a long history, recognized … Continue reading Why I Hate Love Triangles

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.
