Go to Lists to make collections of games. Channel 3 can be your game tracker, like Goodreads or Letterboxd for video games.

Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.

BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.
"The bomb of all bombs. The 3DO almost crashed the entire industry again just like Atari in the early 80's. Not really, but imagine! With an insane price point at the time ($700-$1000 at launch), nobody was going to buy this. Even that rich friend you knew that had everything wasn't going to buy this. It flopped and failed so hard. Which is sort of a shame, but Trip Hawkins be trippin'. I've played this at Cons and even trying to get back into that year's mindset I don't think I would have been impressed by it.
(Also, I had a part in a very funny 3DO webseries a few years ago and here's my amazing performance from episode 5. Will definitely recommend watching all quick episodes for a laugh)"
"This could have been something special. If we are just rating the system based on what it could do 5 stars, if we are rating the system on playability 3 stars. What was with the controllers and 2 player abilities? Road Rash ran better on this than it did on the PS1. It's just unfortunate that the system wasn't given the proper attention. Who would buy Disc games? That's crazy!!"
