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.
Channel 3 has a subscription called Turbo that costs $5/month. THIS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL. Turbo helps support the platform, and gives you access to special features and the ability to unlock certain prizes.
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.

Don't play. Everyone has an escape, a way of getting out of your own head for a few hours. It could be working on cars, it could be running, it could be music... My escape is to play games. It's a...more
If the statement is directed at me and I don't have the time explain, then I'd say "I enjoy playing video games, but it's a waste of time? Interesting opinion, but I really beg to differ otherwise."

As video games have evolved, they can be a good source of:
-Social interaction (especially for introverts like me) and in-person interaction with co-op games for friends/families
-Critical thin...more
Luckily I haven’t had to answer this too often. I had a student tell me once it was a waste of time the. Proceeded to spend 45 minutes on TikTok during a study hall.

Ask them what they do for fun and immediately tell them it’s a waste of time and laugh at them. If they don’t have a hobby I tell them they need to go apologize to trees for wasting the oxygen the...more

Well what do you like to do in your free time or spare time? What's your hobby, or thing you like to do that relaxes you or you just enjoy?
Just to see where the conversation goes.
I show them my AWS hosting bills for Channel 3 and tell them "It's not JUST a waste of TIME."
LOLOLOL jkjk y'all know I'm the biggest advocate in the world for the positivity of gaming. It's UNMAT...more
It’s usually said to me by someone who plays games of some kind (cards, etc). I usually just explain to them that it’s basically the same thing. That it also allows you to play those games with fr...more
If this was a real life situation with a rando, I'd probably assume that person doesn't know how to play, and is lashing out irrationally. So I'd move on.
But if it's someone I know and want to take ...more

My first thought is "how dare you" but after taking a beat and reading other answers here I can let it go. You do what makes you happy. Even though ur wrong 😛
Besides what everyone else has said, I'd have to mention time. Every culture has a way of perceiving time. There are several. One guy broke it up into monochronic and polychronic cultures. The former ...more
What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a ratio...more
I once wrote a college paper, and got published, about how video games build hand-eye coordination in doctors and other professionals that need fine motor skills.

To echo what @dosandres said, games aren’t inherently a waste of time; they’re only a waste when we allow them to take precedence over our responsibilities.
Additionally I’d point out that ther...more
Taking a cue from Tidus and Yuna, just laughing at them. You can't convince someone who has formed preconceived notions. Just move along with your day.
But spending hours destroying your mind and soul on TikTok, porn, and alcohol is ok? Riiiiiight.
It’s only a waste of time if you are not prioritizing other parts of your life when they need to ...more
