Sometimes you just can’t find the time, nor the will to see something through. Never watched all of that classic film? Didn’t finish that play through of a game that everyone raves about? That killer Netflix series that you just stopped watching half-way through? We’ve all done it, and I think it’s ok. This is […]

Blog: Looking backwards to move forwards
Here’s the thing. I’m trying to calm the hell down on my almost ADHD levels of moving from game to game to game, for the sake of having something to write about. Of course, the only pressure comes from me, and well, it doesn’t need to. Judging by the stats, it’s not like hundreds of […]
Blog: Sometimes you need the grind
The past month has been pretty hectic, trying to maintain a level of frequent/readable content, working full-time in a job that is really starting to need more of my time, trying to be a husband (I’m not particularly good at this one) and study a degree part-time…….you get the picture. Everything was becoming a grind, […]
Blog: These days every game wants my attention forever, and my money…..
In the past couple of years, the rise in “games as a service” as seen developers and publishers go from a traditional release with DLC, then maybe a sequel, to releasing one game and giving seemingly endless support and updates. Great, right? Less to buy, less distractions from latest releases? Nope! Now, I find myself […]
Getting back into the swing of things
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 […]
The Gold Standard – 2017
2017 is dead, but it’s worth looking back on. It was a big year for Ninja Refinery. In fact, whilst the site existed, and posts were made, it was the birth and proper realisation of the site. It’s been great! More importantly, I played some great games, some of which were released in 2017, most […]
Inspired by – NoClip
My second “Inspired by” piece is a little broader than just the “NoClip” name, it’s actually more about the man behind the project and how I’ve followed his career, being inspired over and over by the quality of his work, his obvious passion and of course his delivery. That man is Danny O’Dwyer, a gaming […]

Trying something new
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 […]
100 published posts!
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 […]
