Kingdom Hearts III (PS4): First Impressions

February 8, 2019May 29, 2019 Chris

There are so many things to say about Kingdom Hearts III now that it’s finally upon us. In fact, we’ll probably be devoting something like an hour and a half of podcast material to it, because reaching the end of … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts III (PS4): First Impressions

Nintendo Switch, and the Appeal of Gaming on the Go

November 5, 2018March 8, 2019 Chris

After I got my promotion a few months ago, I decided to splurge and pick up a Nintendo Switch. I had very little experience with the console; other than using Shaun’s to play through all of Super Mario Odyssey, I’d … Continue reading Nintendo Switch, and the Appeal of Gaming on the Go

NBA 2K19: First Impressions, and the Issue of Microtransactions

October 8, 2018December 26, 2018 Chris

I said last year that NBA 2K18 lost a customer with its gross microtransactions nonsense. While voting with your wallet is an overrated concept sometimes, I’d like to think that losing a customer who bought every annual edition for more … Continue reading NBA 2K19: First Impressions, and the Issue of Microtransactions

Thoughts on Dragon Quest XI: The First 10 Hours

September 10, 2018December 13, 2018 Michaela

I have very little exposure to the Dragon Quest series. I first attempted to play Dragon Quest VIII on my PlayStation 2 as a high school student, and while I recall very little of the short experience, I can only … Continue reading Thoughts on Dragon Quest XI: The First 10 Hours

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

Group Review: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

June 11, 2018August 13, 2018 Gray Areas

Editor’s note: This is another in a short series of old reviews that never saw the light of day for some reason. The games are still out, so it’s relevant! Trust me! THE GOOD Chris: It’s a Link to the … Continue reading Group Review: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

Group Review: Pokemon X/Y

June 4, 2018July 12, 2018 Gray Areas

Editor’s note: I unearthed some reviews that we worked on a while back that never saw the light of day. They’re not exactly the most timely at this point, but here they are anyway! THE GOOD Jason: The move to … Continue reading Group Review: Pokemon X/Y

The Steins;Gate 0 Dub Debuts Today and I’m Excited

April 30, 2018June 11, 2018 Chris

Sometimes I look back on things that I’ve written over the years and I can’t help but grimace a bit. For example, there’s a Skyward Sword review from more than six years ago where I called it the best Zelda … Continue reading The Steins;Gate 0 Dub Debuts Today and I’m Excited

Blazing a Trail: The Success of the 2018 Royal Rumble

January 29, 2018March 5, 2018 Chris

For the last decade or so, the Royal Rumble has been an exercise in disappointment. Year after year we’ve seen mediocre storylines, poor match pacing and unwanted winners. You can argue that fans haven’t been happy with the end result … Continue reading Blazing a Trail: The Success of the 2018 Royal Rumble

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.
