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.
Hey everyone! Been gaming for most of my life on and off. Some of my favourites range from retro and current titles such as SMB series, TMNT series, Shadowgate, DK series, Super Punch-Out!!!, Legend of Zelda Series and Final Fantasy series just a few to gauge my taste of gameplay. See you in stream!
I came here to chew bubble gum and play video games, and I got some bubblegum right here. You are most likely to find Smash Brothers and Mario Kart here.
You have no opinion of games on this list, because you know literally nothing about them. Adding games to this list may prevent them from showing up in certain places on Channel 3.
Would love each person who appears on the podcast to complete this list AFTER their episode airs, listing the 3 games mentioned (plus honorable mentions) in order. Will be fun to see the most listed games! (AGAIN: Do NOT fill out this list unless you've been on the What are your 3? podcast)
We all know that the backlog is a barren wasteland from which games never return. This is your on-deck checklist for games that you actually will be playing next. This list isn't a graveyard, it's a reservation.
What games have you bought multiple times? Whether across system generations, upgraded versions, broken copies, digital and physical, multiple family members, whatever. List them! Inspired by @connerf
After X there's a big gap in there for me as far as my enjoyment goes on this list. I only included what I've played. I've got XV and remake in the pipe though. I need to pick up the Pixel Remasters, too...
Final Fantasy Rankings
Put your definitive ranking of Final Fantasy Games.
If planet Earth played video games, which would be its favorites? These are the games that celebrate our planet, by showing the beauty of nature, raising awareness for climate issue, encouraging sustainability, etc.
Starting the list off with Guardians. This game got overlooked because of the blah Avengers game. This game had a great story, fun soundtrack, great play dynamics, and heart. It has its supporters in here but more people need to play it.
Under-rated Games
This isn't for the big popular ones. This is for the obscure, the unpopular, the diamonds in the rough.
1st Party Nintendo has been my main pre-order. Andromeda was my last non-1st party pre-order. I mostly only pre-order Nintendo now also since I know they'll pretty much never go on sale.
Pikmin 4 is being added. 1 and 3 already had me because the levels/days last under 15 minutes, but now they've added underground lairs that break it up into even smaller chunks. I've found myself saying I'm going to bang out one more day, then finding an underground tunnel, saying fine I'll just do that (time there is 6x normal game time) then I get out of the underground and decide to just finish the day, then why not start a new day. Great game. Full review pending.
Just One More...
Coined by @joob this list is for the games where you lie to yourself and say that you're going to play just one more...
Separate from games that Cr3w recommended, these are games that you only tried for the first time and/or continued to play thereafter because of C3 activities. Not "I tried it before and tried again now," but truly tried for the first time.
A genre that is either incredibly enjoyable or painfully tedious. My #1 is an all-time game though.
Top 10 Metroidvanias
Metroidvania is a sub-genre of action-adventure games and/or platformers focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration and progression. The term is a portmanteau of the names of the video game series Metroid and Castlevania.
I honestly did not do all of the Korok seeds but I gave it a run. I did get every Mario moon though. Need to ponder this list some more.
Top 10: Collect-a-Thon
List and rank up to 10 of your favorite games that you could call a "collect-a-thon." These may be genre-bending and cross into other groups, but these are games where there is an overarching "gotta catch 'em all" vibe to these games. List those games that you need to collect in.
Coming in with the scorcher! I've barely scratched Tears but it has perfectly iterated on everything from BotW. I've had nowhere near the time I've wanted to play at all but I'm truly admiring what the people who made this game have done. Stubbornness is probably the only thing keeping LttP at the top, but I also stand by it.
Tiers of the Kingdom: The Legend of Zelda Top 10
Rank your top 10 (and only 10) games from The Legend of Zelda Franchise
(I flat out stole the name from Get Played, it was stupidly brilliant)
Removing Horizon Zero Dawn since I've been going at that and adding Hogwarts Legacy since I got it for the family but won't be playing it until after the two Horizons.
Backlog (want to play)
Air your dirty laundry here. What has gone into your backlog??
Shout out to @froggy for the suggestion that we run top 10 ranking lists!
Rank up to 10 of your favorite platfformer games
Be sure to put them in order!
This isn't a list of games I sold for dislike, but for ones that have caused me physical pain in hindsight. Some I've procured again, but many...just loss. It was just the way things worked then. Especially Chrono Trigger.
Sold It
A list of games that you sold off that you no longer have.
A little different from your Favorites, these are the games you'd tell a friend to check out. Maybe they're underrated, maybe they're cult classics, but these are the ones you're always mentioning to people.
I'll start this one off with the ones I missed out on with the GameCube generation. Though I have picked up Pikmin I just need to crack it on the Wii.
Maybe Someday
List the games that you missed out on during their first pass that you hope to get a shot at someday. Maybe an upgrade, remaster, re-release, retro - whatever. You didn't get to play it but you hope to someday.
I truly wanted to like Strikers. I'm glad it didn't click for hard-core Strikers fans either. First one I tried but it just didn't click. I love the MR trilogy but just COULD NOT get into Andomeda. Sunshine? Just didn't work for me. Don't hate these, just gave up.
Abandoned
Not currently playing, and don't plan to come back to it... You stopped playing it because it was too hard, not enjoyable, too long, life happened…
