Music to My Ears: Ryu’s Theme (Super Smash Bros.)

June 14, 2015August 1, 2015 Chris

Even though there had been rumors for a few weeks, actually seeing Ryu in Super Smash Bros. rekindled something in my heart. I didn’t think I’d be so excited about it, but…I am. I’ve talked in earlier versions of these … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Ryu’s Theme (Super Smash Bros.)

Why Hearthstone’s New Hero Skins Are a Slap in the Face

June 8, 2015August 1, 2015 Chris

Recently, Blizzard announced that it was adding new heroes to its extremely popular game Hearthstone, all for the low, low cost of $9.99 apiece! Controversy erupted. To be clear, there is a huge, glaring problem with this announcement — but … Continue reading Why Hearthstone’s New Hero Skins Are a Slap in the Face

Music to My Ears: Gaur Plain

May 29, 2015July 9, 2015 Chris

What happens when Yoko Shimomura and Yasunori Mitsuda join forces with other composers? One hell of a soundtrack, that’s what. Xenoblade Chronicles managed to slip under the radar when it was released in the United States in 2012. Maybe it … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Gaur Plain

Music to My Ears: Rainbow Road SNES (Mario Kart 8)

May 16, 2015June 8, 2015 Chris

I’m sure some folks consider this course to be overplayed in the Mario Kart series, especially now that it’s been in back-to-back games. I say screw that — Rainbow Road is awesome. It’s a simple yet challenging course with no … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Rainbow Road SNES (Mario Kart 8)

Music to My Ears: Brothers

April 17, 2015May 24, 2015 Chris

So this probably feels like cheating, especially after we blurred the lines last time by featuring music from Steins;Gate. That music was legitimately in the game, though, so you’re probably wondering, “What the hell is the video game connection?” That’s … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Brothers

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

Review: Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

February 10, 2015April 2, 2015 Chris

For years, fan have been asking about an updated version of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. Once Heart Gold and Soul Silver were released on the DS a couple years ago, it seemed inevitable that the next generation of Pokemon would get the same … Continue reading Review: Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

We got a new Persona 5 trailer from Atlus earlier this morning, and unlike the last version, this one gives us our first look at gameplay and some other substantial hints as well. You can check out the video yourself … Continue reading New Persona 5 Trailer: Cats, Masks, Prisons, and…Evil Personas?

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

Music to My Ears: vs. Team Aqua/Magma Leader

January 7, 2015January 9, 2015 Chris

We covered a song from this soundtrack a couple months ago, but now that I’m finally getting a chance to play the game (I loaned Tech Guy my 3DS for about a month, which made playing this more difficult than … Continue reading Music to My Ears: vs. Team Aqua/Magma Leader

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.
