Music to My Ears: TURN THE BEAT BACK

August 13, 2018August 27, 2018 Chris

You may have noticed from how many posts I’ve had on the site about video game music, but it’s kinda my jam. There’s nothing quite like having the perfect soundtrack to go with a given moment or stage in a … Continue reading Music to My Ears: TURN THE BEAT BACK

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Red Swan,” Yoshiki feat. Hyde

August 9, 2018November 5, 2018 Michaela

A slower, piano heavy Attack on Titan opening that isn’t by Linked Horizon that still manages to be good? How is this possible? I remember being a little disappointed when I first listened to the opening and realized that it … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “Red Swan,” Yoshiki feat. Hyde

Music to My Ears: Menu Theme (Metroid Prime)

July 25, 2018October 23, 2018 Chris

There’s just something about the squishy noises at the start of this song that get me, you know? Metroid Prime seemed like a huge risk at the time of its release. You want to take a trusted Nintendo franchise and … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Menu Theme (Metroid Prime)

Mitsuru and Kokoro – The Best Part of Darling in the Franxx

July 12, 2018October 8, 2018 Michaela

For this installment of “The Best Part Of…” I had a dilemma picking which couple to write about. If I had been asked to write this a few weeks ago before Darling in the Franxx finished airing, I would have … Continue reading Mitsuru and Kokoro – The Best Part of Darling in the Franxx

Music to My Ears: Quest Battle (Tokyo Mirage Sessions)

June 25, 2018July 25, 2018 Chris

There are quite a few gems tucked into the Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE OST, but this is the song that stuck out the most. That means it gets today’s spotlight while every other song is forced to languish in the … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Quest Battle (Tokyo Mirage Sessions)

Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 13

June 16, 2018 Michaela

Welcome to the superhero edition of these reviews? It wasn’t my intention to watch superhero-heavy shows back-to-back, but that’s how everything played out. Enjoy these spoiler-free reviews as I take a look at whether or not I’d recommend them! My … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 13

My Wishlist For Video Game Loot Crate Themes

May 31, 2018May 30, 2018 Michaela

I’ve always been intrigued bu the idea of loot crates. Over the years, they’ve progressively grown in popularity (with many YouTubers showcasing live openings) and on more than one occasion, I’ve seriously considered looking into subscribing. Shaun has gotten loot … Continue reading My Wishlist For Video Game Loot Crate Themes

Best Anime Openings/Endings – “KISS OF DEATH,” Mika Nakashima x Hyde

May 22, 2018 Michaela

My experience with Darling in the Franxx has been full of surprises. I thought for sure I wouldn’t like this show. “Boys and girls piloting mechas in overtly sexual positions?! What a stupid ploy to have a ton of fan … Continue reading Best Anime Openings/Endings – “KISS OF DEATH,” Mika Nakashima x Hyde

Music to My Ears: Box 15/16 (Danganronpa)

May 14, 2018June 18, 2018 Chris

It seems like a disservice to have finished the first Danganronpa game and not get around to covering any of the music. There’s a cool, funky, jazzy vibe to most of the soundtrack, and several songs stick out when they … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Box 15/16 (Danganronpa)

The Steins;Gate 0 Dub Debuts Today and I’m Excited

April 30, 2018June 11, 2018 Chris

Sometimes I look back on things that I’ve written over the years and I can’t help but grimace a bit. For example, there’s a Skyward Sword review from more than six years ago where I called it the best Zelda … Continue reading The Steins;Gate 0 Dub Debuts Today and I’m Excited

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.
