Holiday's are Less stressful with a Keurig
If your a crafter..... Especially a crazy crafter/ business owner like myself. You've probably found yourself working away for long , long hours at a time. This Christmas season I was truly blessed. keurig and Influenster Canada came to me with an opportunity to test there Keurig 2.0. I have been ogling this machine since its inception to the market and world. I should explain.... I bought a single serve Keurig last year, and quickly fell in love with it. The only downfall was my husband over filling and causing slight “issues".
I digress though.
I've had the Keurig 2.0 for around two weeks now. The first week I had it was roughly the last week of shipping for A Bit Retro so it was quite crazy and hectic! A pumpkin spice latte or a yummy chai tea was exactly what I needed to start what ended up being 8 to 10 hr days. I love my job, but we all know coffee is quite often needed to get through the day. Being able to press a few buttons on a digital display and having my coffee ready in just a few minutes is exactly what the crafty Dr. ordered!
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza (sorry if I missed anyone :D )
I wanted to come back after a crazy hectic holiday season to tell you a little bit of whats been going on, and what plans are being set in motion for 2015.
First of all I want to thank everyone who has supported A Bit Retro since the beginning of March, when we finally opened <3. I feel so grateful and honoured that I am finally able to do something I absolutely love to do! This year has been quite a year of ups and downs. Life is all about the ups and downs and how you deal with them. I truly believe that my struggles today will pave a beautiful future for my husband and I and our four legged children. I feel so blessed, and I owe a lot of that to you guys! My followers, friends, and wonderful customers <3
YOU"RE THE BEST!!!
Now I want to let you know a little bit about whats going on right now to establish a wonderful. Fantastical. Inspirational. New Year.
2015 is going to bring us some new goals that will be in your favour and some changes as well!

Review ~ Gotham episode 9: Harvey Dent
Welp.... This episode was interesting as we meet Harvey Dent, and quite a bit lackluster to be honest.
The episode revolves around Fish Mooney's continued secret plan to continually hurt Falcone. This time she's gonna hurt him in the money. Getting the remaining members of Nicholai's team to clear Falcone out. Using a very skilled Ian Hargrove, with whom they broke out of custody and are keeping against his will. They devise bombs to take out what is needed. Little do they know they are going to go BOOOMMM too! Another one of Fish's plans complete.
Some of the scenes I loved:
Every scene with Edward Nigma or Oswald Cobblepot!...there creepy factor is PERFECT!
The fact that they had a baddie ( Ian Hargrove ) with a heart.
Watching Selena Kyle interacting with Bruce, and how it changed over the episode.

BUT
The best part of this episode was watching Harvey Dent loose it and scare the bejeezus out of Lovecraft... Yet another A* you wanna see go!
Tell me what you thought of this weeks episode in the comments below!? Love it or hate it!?

Review ~ Gotham Episode 8: The Mask
What this episode did bring us, is another interesting villain. That makes TWO whole episodes in a row showing us some sinister badies. This episode we are introduced to Richard Sionis...Someone we will eventually call THE MASK! He's got an interesting hiring process....Fight to the death. Who lives wins and gets hired. Gordon goes on a spree looking for this fight location. Too bad Gordon figured it out. While checking on the "victims" he gets knocked out by Sionis himself. As he comes too, Sionis lets his contenders know there is a different game to be played this time. As Gordon is reminding the gentleman he's a cop. Sionis gives them something impossibly irresistible. A million dollar signing bonus. So...Gordon ends up showing us his combat skills. In the meantime, Harvey has finished checking his leads with no luck to be had, and is trying to find out where Gordon is. He finally has to cuss out the station for being a** hats, and gets there help when the Captain asks for a cpl leads to check out. The Captain winds up being the one to find Gordon, not that he really needed any help as he subdued Sionis pretty well on his own. Whether the Captains warning as the final attempt from Sionis was needed, we'll never know. But Gordon sure proved himself in that scene for sure. The Captain is now behind him 100%.
In the meantime we see Bruce heading back to school in not such a great outcome as he is confronted by a bully that seriously has no boundaries. The way this kid casually talks about Bruce's parents death right in front of his very eye's with nothing but a smug look on his face, makes you wonder....is this "The Joker" reference for the episode. Now here's a little tid bit as a side note...something you might not have caught on to. That "bully" of his...That's Tommy Elliot. You know. HUSH. Yeah. Let that sink in! One of which was a friend of Bruce's growing up in the comics, is now made into a bully on Gotham. Either way Bruce was given the go ahead to confront his bully at Tommy's very own home. Pretty ballsy if ya ask me! The showings of Batman in the making for sure. Especially when the final scene is of Bruce asking Alfred to teach him to fight. With the happiness Alfred is trying to suppress as he agrees, this looks like it's going to get very interesting.

Review ~ Gotham Episode 7: Penguins Umbrella
Can this show GET any better!!??
OMG...So.MUCH.AWESOME
First, right off the bat (ha bat...did it again :P ), we see Gordon on the run ...but not on the run. With Cobblepot now announced as alive and back in Gotham (Screw you Montoya and Allen) Gordon is now running like a chicken with his head cut off trying to figure out what to do next! He obviously decides to go out in one way or another serving justice. As he's just got Barbara out of town, he goes back to work and gets some already signed warrants. He's going on a man hunt for all of Falcone's affiliations. Including Falcone himself! To which while arguing with the Captain, we get to meet a new badie....Victor Zsasz, as he has been hired by Falcone to bring Gordon in ALIVE.On the other side were seeing Cobblepot sucking up nicely to Maroni. For being so new Maroni really has a thing for who'm he now calls his "golden goose"
On a side note while were on that specific scene Cobblepot responds back to that statement of Maroni's with "HONK, HONK" some say that was this weeks episode nod to the joker....cause what do clowns say!? HONK HONK.
Anyways back to what I was saying.....
Cobblepot continues this mini "war" that he's started by sending Maroni's men to hit Falcone "hard" at one of his operations. Killing all his men including one of his "dearest". Nikolai was a close affiliate so to speak of Falcone, his lovely well made suite, full of bloody bullet holes is captured as the dust settles after the shoot out.
We see the mini war end with an agreement on the water front of Maroni and Falcone trading Cobblepot for "Indian Hill" in Arkham. A waste management site with a Indian burial grounds underneath it...Whether there is something supposed to be special about Indian Hill, I guess we will have to wait and see. As of right now though, it has just changed hands to Falcone. While all of this is going on we have a couple of delicious scenes where Fish and Cobblepot face off. Fish can't do a damn thing and Cobblepot knows it! He's playing this amazing taunting game with her and it's freakin' fantastic how he gets under her skin so easily.
Gordon starts his rampage and heads back to the clock tower where they wont even bother looking. If it's too obvious. GO THERE. We see Harvey show up with...a hooker!? I'm guessing. Figuring his days are numbered he's gonna go out with a bang. So why not do it by Gordon's side! They first take on the Mayor, which shows it making it super easy for them to get into Falcone's estate. They take on Falcone and his goon's only to find out Barbara (as usual) has come back to plead with Falcone, and is now hostage. So Gordon is forced to come to an "understanding" with Falcone to save all of there lives, and let who he has already captured go (including the Mayor...still can't stand that guy)
Now the big deal about this episode was at the end. The real SHOCKER. The part that blew everyone's mind! Cobblepot comes hobbling up the hill while Falcone is out checking on his chickens. We get a flash back to find out that when Falcone found out that Cobblepot snitched to the cops. They made a deal. Cobblepot knew that Gordon wouldn't be able to kill him so he asked for Gordon to do it and they laid the ground work for everything that has happened. Penguin is now seemingly in charge, in a not so obvious way. Everything has come into place for him, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Review ~ Gotham Episode 6: The Spirit of The Goat
OHHHH MAN was this episode action packed!
We get to see how Harvey used to be strong willed about justice, just like his new partner Jim Gordon is. We got to meet his old partner Dick, and see the soft spot hard ol' Harvey has for him!
In this episode Harvey gets to relive an old case that haunts him. The Goat killer. Killing off the first born of the 1% of Gotham. One down with more to go when Harvey gets on the case. At the same time Montoya and Allen are still snooping and getting evidence to convict Gordon of his "foul play" from the first episode. You remember...His orders from Falcone to KILL Cobblepot. So much for that secret! (I'll let you discover that for yourself, if you haven't watched the episode yet.)
As we fast forward through the episode we see some really NICE Easter eggs. Want me to share!?... Well alright. You twisted my arm <3
* Edward Nigma's coffee Mug!? UMMM HELLO!!??? We get it, he's The Riddler. Nice of you to beat us over the head with it BWAHAHAHAHA...and his smirk...uhh... Clearly Cory Michael Smith was having a difficult time NOT laughing at this.
* When Harvey and Gordon go to visit Dick in the rest home. We see Dick has been playing cards, and the camera, ever so slyly grazes past a Joker (TADA our Joker hint)
* Cobblepots mother yells at him through the door about a "painted lady" Possible reference to Harely Quinn!
Those were some epically awesome moments. This episode wraps up with Harvey doing some reall work and realizing HOW "The Spirit of The Goat" keeps coming back, and confronts the good Dr. Psychiatrist Dr. Mark about it. To which he is attacked for and she gets away without ever getting her hands dirty.
Already riled up Harvey is back at the station when Montoya and Allen bring Gordon in on a lovely count of MURDER! What goes down in that scene, I can't tell you! You HAVE to see it for yourself!!! It's just way WAY to much awesome!
So BRAVO to Bruno Heller and Ben Edlund (the writers of the show)....This was INCREDIBLE!!!

Getting Your Geek On, On A Low Income Budget
Money`s tight these days. Everything is going up (especially if your Canadian) except the paycheck. So what`s a poor geek guy and girl to do!?
!!!!GET GEEKY ON A BUDGET!!!!
I'm going to show you a few tips I have learned on how to get your geek on, on a tight to extremely tight budget!
First and foremost, I make extra side money doing surveys. one of which pays for our theater tickets all year round. Others I get various things, from Paypal cash (and real in the mail kinda cash) to Amazon gift cards. Allowing me to save for a con, something fun I want, or ...you know, just save it!
My biggest find to date though has been SWAGBUCKS. It's so great! For just a few minutes per day I can get $25 in Amazon giftcards and more awesome stuff. There are so many options. My personal belief is something is better than nothing. With all this being said, I'm watching movies as they come out in theatre's for MAXIMUM $3-5 (covers the 3D and or ULTRA AVX)
PLUS at the same time I'm also getting SCENE points (Canada only I believe) which allow me to get even MORE free movies.
But if you really wanna spend some money. Your best bet is to get a subscription to something like LOOTCRATE or NERDBLOCK ....I would even consider KAWAII MONTHLY! These will run you about $20-$30 depending on where your from (cheaper if you're American)....and if you think about it..you can use paypal cash you got from your surveys to cover it potentially. So looking back at this. There is SOOO many ways to go geek for FREE!!

Of course these obviously aren't ALL the ways but just some of the ways to get new favourite fandoms for little to nothing.
Why go for broke, when you can go for FREE

Review ~ Gotham Episode 5: Viper
This weeks episode dealt with some heavy duty suggestions. The whole episode we deal with Viper the early stages of a horrible drug we know and love to hate...VENOM. The typical good gone bad idea of a Wayne enterprises subsidiary (WellZyn) employee, that was charged with the task of making chemical warfare "weapons" decides to show his bosses why they shouldn't be doing this after begging them to stop the project. He passes the "VIPER" drug out on the street, to as many as he can. As you see the clearly enraged takers in the police station, what amuses and gets my interest is Nigma's absolute blatantly honesty fascination with this new unknown drug. He is absolutely thrilled and intrigued watching it's process in a street girl brought in, who literally dies in mere minutes.
Bruce is starting to show more and more what a quick learner he is, and what the Bat WILL be! He starts putting two and two together realizing Wayne Enterprises is going corrupt. Now he just has to figure out where!? As always child Bruce isn't a overly large placement on the show, but it is quite nice to see how he is starting to develop those detective skills some "real" detectives have forgotten about (cough. cough. Harvey).
Cobblepot is a minor importance in this episode and only really has the plot point of finally telling Maroni who he really is! This leads to Gordon's secret being found out and now he's on everyone's pulley.
As the episode draws to a close we see that honesty is not the best policy in Gotham and it's gonna be a long time before it gets even close.
So keep your arms inside the vehicle and enjoy this crazy bumpy ride that is Gotham.

Favourite Male Cosplayer
As we will be at what looks to be our final Con of the year tomorrow, I
have been sitting back and reflecting on some of the awesome cosplays I
have seen this year. So what better then to introduce you to a few.
( I fully admit. I'm a bit biased on this man. He's my husband and we worked on this together)
So go check out these wicked cosplaying men. I honestly don't think the guys get enough credit.

Review ~ Gotham Episode 4: Arkham
As the main plot is thickening, and stewing. We see bits and pieces of Fish auditioning lounge singers, and telling Butch she's looking for a "weapon". The perfect weapon. We don't know what for yet, but I'm sure it will have something to do with taking over Falcone's title, that's for sure!
Blackwell gets caught trying to kill the Mayor when Gordon figures out the code at his office desk. A huge struggle ensues and as usual the killer dies, but not before revealing that he is just a hired hitman. So this makes us wonder, if he hit both camps. Who hired him? Will we ever find out?
In conclusion of this weeks episode. As usual here's what I think there Joker "tell" is:
In the beginning of the episode Cobblepot shows up on Gordon's doorstep to offer his intell on whats going to happen. Gorden angrily/calmly walks him out of his building and they come to words. When Cobblepot starts answering him they here the loud laughs and giggles of what turns out to be three girls coming down the alley. When Gordon turns around, Cobblepot is GONE.
Let me know what you though of this episode in the comments below.

DIY TUESDAY ~ DIY Bullet Bill Stuftie Tutorial
Today's DIY Tuesday, is brought to you by Bullet Bill. Bullet Bill is a Super Mario "villain" that's cute and funny and makes the best stuftie EVER!
Take the pattern ( I use the term loosely),fit it to an 8 1/2" by 11" sheet to print. Cut out the Entire shape.
Cut the entire shape out of 2 pieces of black felt.
once the entire body is cut out. Detach the mouth from the pattern. Use red felt to cut out the inside of his mouth.
When working on the teeth cut out everything that would be red in the background and then use white felt to cut out his teeth. Be careful this is difficult and tricky.
Once you have the teeth cut out sew it to the red fabric and sew along all the edges.
Then sew the mouth into place. Look at your original pattern for placement of the mouth.
Once the eyes are cut out ( I highly recommend using an exacto knife for this). Make sure to get them cut out of white felt as well.
sew the eyes into place right above his mouth.
