Brand new /popcorn emote from the Guild Wars 2 gem store! I love how he stares so intently while otherwise casually munching away... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Got a new car yesterday! Here it is, my brand new 2026 Toyota RAV4 in the Limited trim and Blueprint paint job. Am very happy with this new addition to the family! #Toyota #ToyotaRAV4 #RAV4

RRRrrrAAARrrrrgghhh!! Just flexin' the new /flex emote... Heh... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Buh-dum-PSSHH!!! Yes, I went and bought the new drum kit chair for my toons in Guild Wars 2. Here's Brandt rocking out on the drums! #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Picked up the /shocked emote from one of the renown heart vendors in the new expansion for Guild Wars 2. So here's Brandt being shocked thanks to the newly-acquired emote! #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

In Guild Wars 2, there's a new "Dance Platform Chair" that you can acquire from the Black Lion chests. I spent maybe a little too much, but managed to finally get the thing. It also comes with a /happydance emote! Here's Brandt, happily dancing away... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr #happydance

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Been a bit since I've last posted some screen caps! Apologies to my... fans(?) out there... So Anet recently offered a new tome of /emotes in the Guild Wars 2 gem store. Of course, I had to acquire it! Here's Brandt showing off each of them... #gw2 #guildwars2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

It's that time of year again, where the weather's getting chilly and breaking out the scarves is the thing to do! Brrr... More than just a Fashion Wars statement, right...? #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

020

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

Probably the silliest /emote in Guild Wars 2, I just recently acquired... /crabdance Yeah, you dance like a crab... if crabs were to dance all that much, I guess. lol #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Do not adjust your screen, this is not a Photoshop trick of some sort. ;) I was wandering around one of the new zones when I found this chair amongst a few others, which happened to be toppled over. Turns out... you can actually still sit in it. LoL #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Spending some time being a beach bum in the new zone, Shipwreck Strand, for Guild Wars 2's new expansion. I need to put together an outfit that's more comfortable as beach wear though. lol #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

The Extra Life event is still ongoing in Guild Wars 2! Proceeds go toward children's charities, plus they have a new mini available this year... the Mini Guardian Angel Blish. It's for a good cause, so I went ahead and got myself one. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr #extralife

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Okay, so the Spearmarshal's Breastplate wins out... with some touch-ups on dye choices and all, of course. This fashion set sort of touches on how I used to have this toon look a few years ago. Lovin' it though! It's all about the mane, after all. ;) #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

0296

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

Or perhaps even the Mistward Plate chest piece...? Yeah, I fuss a lot with my charr fashions. ;) #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

060

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

With the new hairstyle, I find that it clips with the Ebon Pauldrons I've been using in my fashion for this past while. Well, I think I was overdue for some other fashion changes, so here's a peek at the new stuff. Nothing too drastic, but I think it still looks good! #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

0111

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

Guild Wars 2's new expansion, Visions of Eternity, has gone live... and the new hairstyles are the most critical new addition to the game. ;) Yes, I've gone and switched to one of the new charr manes already. Love it! #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr #fashionwars2

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

The Extra Life event happens soon. It's that time of year again! Donating for kids' sake contrasts against the sinister back drop of the Mad King event. lol #extralife #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Recently switched back to a firebrand build that uses the staff for it's WvW support role in Guild Wars 2. Since I've taken a preference to less flashy designs for running in WvW, I picked up a new skin for the staff. The Thundercrag staff skin! Still looks pretty sweet... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

0165

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Thunderhead Peaks is such a pretty zone if you enjoy winter-y scenes, especially if you're flying high over the chaos and destruction below... LoL Here's Brandt flying through the zone. More a cap of him and his skyscale rather than the zone itself, but you get the idea. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Messing around with the /hiss emote in GW2, I got this rather amusing angle on it, making a good show of my toon's big teeth. Heh... I certainly appreciate the level of detail in the expressions done in this game. These models are still pretty top notch! #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

050

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

My ranger alt in Guild Wars 2, with some recent changes to his fashion. Still a fan of having the antlers on him, too. lol #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Mmm... Singed meat. New /barbecue emote available in Guild Wars 2's Black Lion chests! Again, I'm a sucker for the game's emotes. Mmm... Barbecue! *drools* #gw2 #guildwars2 #barbecue #charr

Oh, and for the record, my favorite driver in Mario Kart Tour is... Meowser, of course! (And a much more screen-cap-worthy character.) #MarioKart #MarioKartTour #Meowser #Bowser

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

On my smartphone, I still play Mario Kart Tour sometimes. They currently have an event running where you can get the Mechanic Mario driver and some of the tiny titan karts from Mario Kart World, which is the MK for Wii Switch 2, releasing... now-ish...(?) #mariokart #mariokarttour #mariokartworld

Ever the sucker for a good /emote, I ended up getting the new /channel emote released yesterday in Guild Wars 2... So here's a screen cap of my charr self making good use of that new /emote! Bbzzzzrrp... pew... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

New to the Black Lion chests in Guild Wars 2 is a "Regenerative Chamber Chair"... which I've acquired, as you can see here! Not sure how relaxing this really is though. lol #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

The ornate grand piano, new in the Guild Wars 2 gem store, is a nice new chair that you can attempt to make music on! When it comes to my skill with the in-game instruments, emphasis on the "attempt" part... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr #piano

And another angle on the Bava Nisos landscape, where some of the destroyed buildings can be seen, expressing the devastation that was wrought upon the region. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Here's another screen cap showing some of the Bava Nisos zone, as devastated and... alien as it had become. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Getting around the newest zone in Guild Wars 2, a skyscale is highly recommended, I must say! Bava Nisos is both lovely and kinda messed up at the same time... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr #skyscale

Cantha, one of the regions in Guild Wars 2, is particularly beautiful and well designed as zones go for in-game worlds. New Kaineng City is a very unique zone in GW2, where the large buildings represent a very dramatic yet lovely landscape. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

071

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

In Guild Wars 2, the newer zones that make up the Janthir Wilds are some of my favorite places to roam. The landscape has a lot of awe-inspiring vistas throughout — even if you're not activating an actual vista node. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

I often just chill out and enjoy the view in various locations in the game. There are some very lovely, well-designed zones in Guild Wars 2. Here, I've cropped out a panoramic style screen cap in Lion's Arch, from an elevated position on top of the main bank. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr #gamertourism

The Willbender in Guild Wars 2 is a heavily armored swordsman with some interesting — perhaps mystic — abilities to compliment the blades. Here is my guardian in his Willbender spec, once again with his plate armor fashion. Am over the jedi aesthetic at least for now. ;) #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Been trying out SW:TOR again, after having had a long absence from it. I had unlocked the cathar species to play as, so... had to carry that concept back to Guild Wars 2. Heh. Here's my charr guardian, once again done up like a jedi, complete with light sabres! #guildwars2 #swtor #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Glitch Wars 2, anyone...? I was hanging out at the blue EBG keep in WvW the other evening when this happened. The textures for my weapons disappeared and only the lighting effects and such remained. Looks more like riot gear with these pieces. lol #glitchwars2 #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

031

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Got the new /emote that's available from the Black Lion chests... "Let me show you a... magic trick!" #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

A little change already to my charr guardian's fashion. Switched back to the previous gloves so their fiery nature more closely compliments my weapon skin choices. So here we go... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

Benjamin | Brandt🍁 @stripeymaney.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

What do you get when you cross a charr with a Fool's Tall Tonic and start him breakdancing? Well, a whole bunch of silly-ness and even more clipping with the floor! Here's a video I just did as proof... lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2Av... #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

I promised some follow-up captures of my updated fashion... Another couple of shots taken in the Janthir region, on the edge of the tundra areas. I was tempted to go with more of the Warbeast set, but I prefer to use a mix of sets for an added sense of challenge. #guildwars2 #gw2 #charr
