This past Friday, Chris, Nick, Shaun and I attended the Final Fantasy New World concert in Phoenix. The concert was held at the Crescent Ballroom, a partial bar and venue.

How Recap Episodes Ruin Anime

October 23, 2015January 20, 2018 Michaela

I’ve been noticing the common recurrence of the recap episode inserted halfway through an anime. Essentially retelling the story within a single episode, recap episodes give the illusion of being important, and I used to watch them specifically for that … Continue reading How Recap Episodes Ruin Anime

For the past four years, I owned a slide phone with the keyboard (super old-fashioned these days), but after the audio quit working, I decided to finally upgrade and move up in the world with a smart phone. While I … Continue reading Final Fantasy Record Keepers Review: A Strong First Impression of Mobile Gaming

Xenoblade Chronicles Review: An Instant Classic

June 5, 2015October 20, 2017 Michaela

I like to consider myself a gamer at heart, but my gaming habits are horrible and clash with this idea I have about myself. One of my worst gaming habits is starting a game and then not finishing it. This … Continue reading Xenoblade Chronicles Review: An Instant Classic

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.
