Thoughts on Dragon Quest XI: The First 10 Hours

September 10, 2018December 13, 2018 Michaela

My Wreck-It-Ralph Omega Team: Defenders Blitz

August 23, 2017April 15, 2025 Michaela

Wreck-It-Ralph was by and large a successful animated film that invoked nostalgia for old-school video games while creating a unique premise of video game characters across multiple genres fighting together for a singular goal.

Final Fantasy XV’s Prompto is the Best

June 29, 2017July 27, 2017 Michaela

“Final Fantasy XV’s Prompto is the Best.” For some fans, this sentence is probably pretty obvious, and some may even wonder why I’m bothering to make a case for it when there’s no contest. But during the ten year developmental … Continue reading Final Fantasy XV’s Prompto is the Best

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.
