Persona 5 Trailer Debuts, PS4 Version Added

September 1, 2014September 1, 2014 Chris

So it’s official: Persona 5 has a trailer, and it’s not coming out this year. That news isn’t too surprising. We were overdue for some news on the game — but because so few details had been revealed, a 2014 … Continue reading Persona 5 Trailer Debuts, PS4 Version Added

Music to My Ears: Time’s Scar

August 17, 2014August 23, 2014 Chris

God, where do you even begin with Chrono Cross? It’s not as bad as some people claim. It’s not as good as some people claim. (Gamespot gave it a perfect 10 back in the day!) It’s pretty much the definitive … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Time’s Scar

Sad vs Happy Endings – Which is Better?

August 15, 2014December 18, 2014 Michaela

Note: This article is inspired by a speech I wrote for Academic Decathlon in my senior year of high school. I’ve rewritten it in article form to make it less dramatic and more concise. Enjoy! For years, I’ve been arguing … Continue reading Sad vs Happy Endings – Which is Better?

Music to My Ears: Brave or Grave

July 20, 2014August 6, 2014 Chris

Brave or Grave is one of those songs that I’ll always remember, even as I encounter hundreds and thousands of other tracks along the way. It’s the music from the final boss fight against Shin M. Bison in Street Fighter … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Brave or Grave

Why Kingdom Hearts’ Roxas Is a Great Character

July 4, 2014March 4, 2017 Michaela

Kingdom Hearts is among one of my favorite video game series with its likeable characters, charming Disney worlds, and mature (albeit convoluted) story.

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.
