Our Best Games Ever: 2022 Edition

November 3, 2022November 8, 2022 Gray Areas

We’ve been talking about it for years, but it’s finally time: We’re updating our list of the best games ever made. It’s been 10 years since the first version of this list. That’s pretty hard to believe, but then again, … Continue reading Our Best Games Ever: 2022 Edition

Does Super Mario Bros. 35 Measure Up to the Success of Tetris 99?

October 14, 2020April 1, 2022 Chris

Nintendo made several announcements as part of the celebration of 35 years of Mario, like a re-release of three beloved games that’s weirdly only available for six months and another nail in the coffin of the Wii U with the … Continue reading Does Super Mario Bros. 35 Measure Up to the Success of Tetris 99?

Tetris 99, and the Best Way to Reinvent a Classic

May 1, 2019January 4, 2020 Chris

Look, maybe it’s because I’m getting old and out of touch, but the trend of battle royale games is beyond me. As I’ve documented a million times in this space, I’m a co-op game kind of guy, so the thought … Continue reading Tetris 99, and the Best Way to Reinvent a Classic

Group Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

June 18, 2018September 11, 2018 Gray Areas

Editor’s note: This is the last “lost review” from a few years ago. Remember, we did an entire hourlong podcast episode about Spirit of Justice, so consider 1,700 words light work in comparison. THE GOOD Michelle:  As a massive fan … Continue reading Group Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

First Impressions: Stardew Valley Multiplayer

May 21, 2018June 25, 2018 Chris

Okay, I’ll admit, I’m a little behind the times on Stardew Valley. It soared to popularity in 2016 and I missed the boat. Since that time I’ve watched a couple people’s short playthrough sessions with the game and thought it … Continue reading First Impressions: Stardew Valley Multiplayer

Moving, or Why Some Old Video Games Had to Go

March 27, 2018May 7, 2018 Chris

I’ve never been much of a hoarder myself, but I do tend to keep things longer than I should. The biggest issue for me is nostalgia — if an item meant something important to me once upon a time, it’s … Continue reading Moving, or Why Some Old Video Games Had to Go

Making Sense of 2017’s Best Video Games

January 1, 2018February 5, 2018 Chris

We’re back in full swing now that 2018 is over — the break is done and the fun has just begun. Or something. But we’ll have a Dave episode of the podcast tomorrow, and Thursday is the annual Best Of … Continue reading Making Sense of 2017’s Best Video Games

The Fall Video Game Lookahead, 2017 Edition

September 21, 2017November 6, 2017 Chris

Each year, the summer comes and goes and we hurtle head-first into fall. Usually that means a full slate of upcoming games that I’m extremely interested in picking up. That’s not the case this year, and I think it’s strange. … Continue reading The Fall Video Game Lookahead, 2017 Edition

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.
