All things music!
It sounds dramatic, doesn’t it? Albums that change your life? But, honestly, I think it’s actually a pretty common experience shared by all of us who listen to music and buy albums. Perhaps it was more prevalent when people actually bought albums, instead of just streaming singles, but I feel like it’s a universal experience, […]
2018 has seen a pretty slow content-feed so far. With the Christmas break, work, a holiday and doing a part-time degree at the same time, things sometimes get put onto the back-burner whilst real life has to take priority. That’s not to say I’ve stopped writing or playing, it just means that the time I […]
I’ve only ever heard of HyperX in the context of computing, so I was very surprised to find that they create gaming headsets, and not just basic gear, but proper, high-end headsets. Not necessarily aimed at the console market, HyperX are (to my surprise), quite a big name in the PC gaming arena. With that […]
Now I’ve gone past 100 posts published, I’ve started to see some patterns in what I’m doing. That’s no bad thing at all, in fact, I’m pleased and a little surprised at my consistency in my approach to certain things. Mixing things up On the flip-side of being pleased of how consistent things have grown […]
It’s perhaps no major event to most, but here at Ninja Refinery, it’s a big deal! Starting off as killthekage.com and having a big re-brand and a renewed vision in recent months, I’ve managed to publish more content than I ever expected I would. Increases In the time since becoming Ninja Refinery, I would say […]
One of the most recognisable names in the gaming headset arena, Turtle Beach sent me out a demo package, containing XO Three headset, officially licenced for the Xbox One. Described as “a great addition to the mid-range line of products”, these range from £35 to £50 depending on where you look. Are they worth the […]
Since my recent epiphany I’ve been on a one-man mission to delve into the audio of games, and to try out some of the headsets in the market, priced between the lower to middle-end. First up, the Steelseries Siberia 200. This is my first headset, and the single item that helped change my whole perspective of […]
I knew I should have written this as my first album review, from the moment I gave it a chance, it’s what inspired me to branch out from just gaming posts in the first place. I wasted time trying to put words to screen for the Brand New album “Science Fiction” and I’ve so far […]
Most people know this already, and honestly, I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to realise this myself. Something that rings true with anything involving audio, something I know. I just never put that knowledge, and my love of gaming together….. Audio sounds better through headphones. Ok, so after stating the obvious, […]
Some of the best times I’ve had have involved New Found Glory, whether it’s their music soundtracking my teens and early 20’s, or some of the best gig memories I have. They’ve been a constant in my life for the best part of their 20 year lifespan. I’m a fan, no doubt about it. That’s […]
