Tom Surtees 🎃👻 #TeamGhost @tomlegend101.bsky.social · Oct 18

Hello to all my new & returning homies, Tom here! 💙

Been gaming for nearly 15 years, with my fave series being Mario, Kirby, Splatoon, Sonic, & Smash Bros 🎮
I also have a degree in Film & TV Production and am wanting to specialise in editing & camera operations 🎬🎓

The real me holding a Sony FS7 Camera, which I frequently used during my time studying Film & TV Production at Northumbria University.

A 4:3 version of a photo I created in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to commemorate the game’s 5th anniversary in December 2023, for which I used 8 controllers to correctly position the featured characters.

A close-up image of my Inkling character doing the “French Girl Pose” in Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival event, held during September 2024.

Played and completed #Klonoa: Door to Phantomile in one stream!! 💙🌙

Adored the multi-plane level design and the dreamy-sounding music throughout my playthrough despite some tough parts near the end. Truly earned its classic status 😊✨

And need I mention the ending 😭

In roughly 1 hour from now (6.20pm UK time), I will be LIVE on Twitch playing #Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the first time! 💙📸🌙

A much-cherished Namco classic that I’ve had in my backlog for almost 3 years, can’t wait to dive in 😊✨

-Day 14 in Japan | THE FINALE-
Went to see the Senso-ji Temple, and then went on an Imperial Palace walking tour with an English tour guide, and even made friends with some fellow UK folks! And our final stop for the trip was teamLab Planets, which was truly breathtaking!! 😊💙🇯🇵🏯🪐

More pics from inside Super Potato Games! 📸

Not much of a retro game collector myself but this is definitely one store every gaming fan should visit when in Japan! Some really cool treasures can be found in here 😊🎮

-Day 13 in Japan-
Went for an explore around Akihabara, which is pretty much Japan's huge pop-culture hub! Notable shops I went to included Super Potato Games, the Square Enix store inside Animate, and as recommended to me by @dreamlandgem.bsky.social, Yamashiroya! 😊💙🛍️🇯🇵

Didn’t take this picture, but perhaps my single favourite thing inside the museum was this Bouncing Totoro zoetrope that span around with strobe lights (to simulate animation), and it genuinely looked like real-time stop-motion 😊📸

-Day 12 in Japan-
Today (or yesterday as I’m posting this a day late lol) was my much anticipated trip to the Ghibli Museum!! 😊💙🇯🇵
Couldn't get footage inside but lemme just say that seeing everything was an experience unlike any other, we really are blessed to have Studio Ghibli on this planet 🙏

-Day 11 in Japan-
(late to post this on Bluesky lol)

Went to teamLab Future Park where I got to draw my own squid that was displayed on an interactive wall! 😊🦑
Later had another explore around Nago, and ended the day with a swim in our hotel's rooftop pool! 😊💙🇯🇵

-Day 10 in Japan-
Today was our much needed "chill-out day" as we've had quite a hectic schedule over the last week (plus the upcoming final 4 days)! Also I finally started playing Ōkami HD! 😊💙🇯🇵

Plus there was a mantis outside at one point which freaked me out 🤣

-Day 9 in Japan-
Went to the Nago Museum and the Busena Marine Park, which had both a glass-floor boat ride AND an underwater observatory! Therefore quite a lot of fish & coral were seen today! 🐠🪸💙🇯🇵
Also acquired a real-life #Splatoon3 Splat Brella water gun! ☂️💦
