Music to My Ears: Confrontation with the Enemy

September 2, 2017April 15, 2025 Chris

  One of the cooler things about video game music is its ability to take a situation and turn up the intensity to the max. Some of the genre’s most crucial moments would feel empty and hollow without the tracks … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Confrontation with the Enemy

I think I did a pretty good job not posting about Persona 5 for a while. I should get a medal or something. If we’re being honest, I could do a post about a track from this game for a … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Ark (Persona 5)

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.
