Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
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.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
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.
There are definitely trash arcades, and arcades that try to price gouge or put the trash stuff in there designed to cheat you, but if they're good, it's so much fun to spend hours just playing with all the noises all around.
Somehow I escaped the red ring for forever with this thing, up until I essentially took a hiatus from video games and done into tabletop games. Then it red ringed and made that even easier ? Until then, was a great system with some of my favorite games/franchises on it
I was definitely a late adopter of this system (fell off the Nintendo bandwagon with the Wii and WiiU), but boy am I happy I picked this up. Great titles, controls feel great (only had drift with a stick one time), and it's the perfect balance of portability and screen size (I take it with me whenever I travel)
I loved this thing (I wish I could figure out what happened to mine, since they're so expensive to acquire now). Obviously with a "micro" mobile system, you're going to run into screen size issues, and I'll admit that was a problem with this one (knocked off a star for that), but otherwise, it was a perfect on-the-go way to game with the smallest footprint possible.
In reality, it depends on the game that you're playing, but just the sheer power and customizability of the world of PC gaming is top tier.... as long as you can afford it (*stares at rig that hasn't had a significant upgrade in 7ish years*)
I've gotta say, this isn't necessarily coming based off of anything you can play right out of the app store. Rather, it's due to a combination of things like the Steam Link and Gamepass apps, cloud gaming, and the awesome mobile controllers (my go-to is the Razer Kishi). I've played a bunch of gamepass stuff I wouldn't have otherwise had the time to get to if it was a matter of sitting at my computer and using valuable "real gaming time", and over the steam link I've managed quite a few hours in things like No Man's Sky.
Not sure I would use this setup for any kind of online competitive multiplayer gameplay, but for the more casual or single player games, it's amazing.
