I think I'm going to change my name

QUESTION

If I make a Stream account and I buy TF2 when I'm playing is that the name everyone will see?

You do realize that your name "GarrettTF2" is only your base name, right? There is a nickname feature in Steam that allows you to use a different name for everything.

Your base name will remain the same, yet everyone who talks with you will see that new name you've provided. You need your basename for a lot of stuff, however. So don't forget it. When friends add you, they have to add your base name, not your nickname, and you have to login with your base name.

How do I change my nickname?
Open up Steam > File > Settings > Friends > Nickname

Remember to apply the changes and hit ok.

No need to act so good for yourself...

Also, I'm getting TF2 tonight...

So my user will prolly be AlecksLolwut.

Ok, well post when you have confirmed that really is your Steam name.

Because you and Niko invite me to a chatroom every 3 seconds >=O

What I meant by that is I don't want to start getting friend requests by people I don't know.

Get a TBT team. Sort of a clan war, but just TBT members on one team. It'd be more fun in that way, cooperating and all.

I would prefer all of the users on TBT to have a scrimmage between each other rather than all of us be on a single team.

I do have an old TBT steam group..
