THE FREE HATS HALL OF FAME

I really didn't want to make this steam group because I don't think what I do is that special, but I feel really bad turning down friend requests from people I've played with, especially when I have dozens of them to comb through each time I stream.

If you want to talk with me or have easy access to me when I'm online/in-game, feel free to use this group. Below is some information that might be helpful.

F.A.Q.

"How do I get my free hat?

Find me in-game when I'm streaming (usually when my name is my twitch URL) TF2. Dominate me (by killing, assisting, or any combination of the two four times in a row) and you get a free hat. No strings, no Gibuses, just whatever I have to give you.

"Do I get to choose my hat?"

No, because people will just pick my HOUWAR every time. Also, giving you choices means more time spent on the trading screen than in-game. If you're deadset on taking a cosmetic from my BP that I'm willing to part with (the list is pretty big) and get the domination, I'm willing to give you what you want specifically. ex. I've had requests for MvM tickets or weapons, which while unorthodox would still be fine depending on what's requested.

"What should I call you?"

'Hats' or 'FreeHats' is fine. My regular user tag on Steam is Carr, if you find the former awkward.

"How often do you stream?"

My schedule changes depending on what college classes I schedule. Regardless, I stream a couple of days a week. Might consider less at the rate I'm giving out hats.

"Can I do anything to help out your stream/donate?"

The only type of donations I accept are hats/cosmetics. I find it obnoxious how most Twitch streamers see streaming as purely a form of revenue with multiple Paypal links and such to improve the "quality" of the stream. Some people have even turned my gimmick against me and offer the same reward back if I dominate them in-game, which I always am willing to take anyone up on.

In short, I don't want your money. I don't want to make streaming my job. I just want to bring a small bit of enjoyment to TF2 for you guys, where RNG and a rigid digital item market has skewered players' outlook on TF2 as a whole.

No free hats, just my personal stream. Stream is changing until Valve reverts trading changes/god awful matchmaking service.

May consider making a new steam group.

Come down and say hello.

LACK OF STREAMS LATELY - STEAM TRADING.

28 February, 2016 - Carr | 0 Comments

I just wanted to post an announcement for people who have watched my streams in the past. When I started this stream over a year ago, I had a lot of fun playing pubs with you guys and giving away free hats. After a recent move (and the loss of my video camera) I had put away streaming for a while, with the intent to return, but with the myriad of new steam trading rules that require countless verifications I've found it increasingly less fun to do streams. This new steam escrow stuff honestly is worse than when I'd get daily hackers joining my streams to troll, because each trade takes a significant amount of more effort on my part to get out (and people who win hats have to wait longer) than it used to be.

I am not giving up streaming in its entirety, so expect to see me do some more in the future, but I thought I'd go ahead and put this explanation here for anyone who was curious as to my bountiful absences lately. Maybe Steam will once again make trading user friendly again, but until then I'll see you around.
