April 5, 2017January 20, 2018 Michaela

Ever since the release of Yuri!!! on Ice, I’ve been itching to watch another anime with good representation of queer couples that doesn’t fall into the offensive yaoi and boy love genres, and No. 6 was recommended as the perfect … Continue reading Nezumi and Shion – The Best Part of No. 6

Good Video Game Couples – Noctis and Luna

January 21, 2017March 7, 2017 Michaela

I’m a sucker for romance in stories, but I’ve found that over the years, I have pretty high expectations for what a good couple should look like. I’ve talked a lot about anime couples that I think fit the mold … Continue reading Good Video Game Couples – Noctis and Luna

Why I Hate Love Triangles

January 30, 2015March 7, 2017 Michaela

Love triangles are among one of the most commonly used plot devices in modern young adult fiction, and the source of their popularity and implications irk me to no end. The overused, run-in-the-ground love triangle has a long history, recognized … Continue reading Why I Hate Love Triangles

Fire Emblem Awakening: Relationships Matter

You haven’t had a chance to play Fire Emblem Awakening yet? That’s okay, I can wait. Go ahead and download it for your 3DS — or better yet, buy it in a store now that retailers have finally received their … Continue reading Fire Emblem Awakening: Relationships Matter

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.
