Symphony Reviews: Kingdom Hearts, Zelda (redux)

July 7, 2017April 15, 2025 Chris

I had the chance to attend two different video game symphony performances over the last couple weeks: the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour in Hollywood and Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses in Denver. Michaela already wrote about KH here, and … Continue reading Symphony Reviews: Kingdom Hearts, Zelda (redux)

Final Fantasy XV’s Prompto is the Best

June 29, 2017July 27, 2017 Michaela

“Final Fantasy XV’s Prompto is the Best.” For some fans, this sentence is probably pretty obvious, and some may even wonder why I’m bothering to make a case for it when there’s no contest. But during the ten year developmental … Continue reading Final Fantasy XV’s Prompto is the Best

Music to My Ears: Trails of Cold Steel

June 26, 2017April 15, 2025 Chris

Piece by piece, we’re getting a little bit more information about Trails of Cold Steel III, which is exciting to me on a number of levels. Since Legend of Heroes has been gaining some traction in the States, we’re almost … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Trails of Cold Steel

Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 11

June 24, 2017June 30, 2017 Michaela

Princess Jellyfish: 3.2/5 Princess Jellyfish was a pretty cute anime overall. The animation was good, and the first couple of episodes were very strong and memorable. Unfortunately, the story gets bogged down by a needless political/romantic side plot that nobody … Continue reading Scoring the Best and Worst Anime I’ve Seen Round 11

Music to My Ears: Pokemon Gold

June 19, 2017April 15, 2025 Chris

Last time we went on a journey to a simpler time: the mid-1990s, when Dancing Mad was king. This time we’re going to stay right in that period, but shift ahead a few years to Pokemon Gold, one of my … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Pokemon Gold

Music to My Ears: Dancing Mad

June 6, 2017April 15, 2025 Gray Areas

I’ve only covered one song from Final Fantasy VI before, and that seems like an oversight. Let’s work on fixing that. I think the temptation when I started this series years ago was to avoid some of the obvious picks … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Dancing Mad

Fire Emblem Echoes Review: The First 20 Hours

May 22, 2017November 2, 2017 Michaela

Not long ago, I considered the games that I loved replaying the most, with Fire Emblem Awakening being at the top. While I liked Fire Emblem Fates (specifically Conquest) at the time of its release, it hasn’t aged well for … Continue reading Fire Emblem Echoes Review: The First 20 Hours

Mystery Blogger Award Nomination

May 16, 2017April 15, 2025 Michaela

I was recently nominated for the Mystery Blogger Award by the awesome Robert Ian Shepherd in this blog post, which is so amazing and humbling that I still can’t even find the words to express my appreciation. And I feel sick. … Continue reading Mystery Blogger Award Nomination

Music to My Ears: Rivers in the Desert

May 8, 2017June 19, 2017 Chris

I think this is the last Persona 5 post for a while. I think. No promises. I just beat the game last night, and I loved it. LOVED it. I’ll have to take time to let it all settle in … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Rivers in the Desert

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.
