What’s coming in 2024 for ninjarefinery.com? Short answer is, I don’t have a clue, and for the first time, that’s fine with me. Everything has always been on a whim, and whilst I love a plan and ideas, I can’t commit as I’d like. Between work and just normal life, I can’t focus solely on […]
We have a new sister-site. Read all about it!!
Ok, new year……not likely to be a massive new Ninja Refinery. But that’s ok, every day is about change and I like to think that we just do what we want and pivot as required. There’s no grand plan for 2023, in fact, like 2020, it’s about survival and being reasonably consistent. With another little […]
It’s been a little while since anything has been posted up here. Not for lack of want, or even for lack of trying. Life tends to creep up on you sometimes and just takes all the energy you have to do the more important things. Of course, family and day to day life are always […]
This is just a quick one but a worthwhile note on how ratings are changing a little here at Ninja Refinery. I’ve reviewed and rated plenty of games, coffee and peripherals and found myself largely happy not using a score-based system. I don’t agree with scores, and wrote about it a while ago but it […]

The NinJack stream team is a real thing, and you can join the community we’re building! Join us over on our community […]
2021 has been a hell of a year! The past month or so has been a little quiet around here, but as always, there’s stuff going on. Half-written reviews, half-finished videos. The usual. For the sake of putting something out and giving a bit of steer on the next week or so, as we see […]
It’s been a little while since any posts, but that’s fine, it’s in the name of progress behind the scenes. With a cool idea around the merch store that may or may not take place, a video review that I keep putting off, Skyward Sword keeping me busy and plenty of online games. There’s a […]
Nothing drastic going on here, in fact, nothing much going on, hence the update. I’ve tried to invest time in specific games, tried to put time into streaming, and slowly slowly started to work on video content. Not everything pans out, some things will take a little longer as I keep making changes to the […]
A mantra used in so many methodologies, from project management to development of software and plans for meetings/sessions. What about games, though? Plan, Do, Review. It’s clear, it’s concise and it’s remarkably effective. A cycle, not a linear map to follow. As soon as you hit the “review” phase, you go back to planning your […]
