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.
Nintendo lover, fighting game nerd, and I run a mario kart league for The Dad Gaming. Spreading my love of games through my high school club Dweebs and Weebs. I also play a little Donkey Kong. Drop in and say hello!
My fighting game experience is somewhat limited to one franchise as you can tell. I'm surprised Killer Instinct Gold isn't in the library though. Who can I yell at for that?
Top 10 Fighting Games
List and rank your top ten (and only ten) fighting games.
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.
Growing/trading fruit and fishing seems pretty green and local. On the other hand, you can take limitless flights to other islands so I don't know.
Green 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.
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.
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)
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!
All the Wii U games were sold to pay for the Switch upgrades that I knew I wanted. Let's be honest, I'm never pulling out the Wii U again except to play Wii games (sold Wii as well). Making this list, I realize I've sold a lot more games than first realized. A few Genesis titles not in the database
Sold It
A list of games that you sold off that you no longer have.
I'm going to try and exclude Pokemon games as I could simply fill this list with that franchise alone.
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.
There are a lot of Zelda games I've never had the opportunity to play.
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.
In true Nintendo fashion, 3D All Stars was a limited run so pre-ordering was a must. Other than that, I don't really see the need to since Amazon stopped their discounts.
Purchase #1: Wii U (+ DLC if you want to add that)
Toddler scratched the disc which kicked off my desire to just get a Switch.
Purchase #2: Switch (Physical)
Somehow, one of my kids lost the game card. Or dog ate it? Likely kids.
Purchase #3: Switch (Digital)
Multiple Purchases
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
