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.

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.
Here’s where I live on it, and since it directly affected me last season where 1up bombs won the xp race for the season, I think it’s fair for me to comment…
To me, the 1up bomb is fun and it makes people feel special. It’s kinda like singing Happy Birthday and putting someone’s name is the song to make it personal. It can be done for anyone and it’s not that difficult to do. I can definitely attest to the warm fuzzies I have personally received over the last few days.
At the same time, if you live in an economy where the citizens can print money then money becomes worthless at some point. The value of the upvote is reduced when they are handed out 10k at a time. I would much prefer to have my memes and posts and quests and lists be upvoted because they are entertaining and had an impact.
Take this a step further because I agree. As of s7, there are real world money equivalent prizes to get with your tickets. They're limited because Joel can't actually print money. They require turbo and a high XP. That used to mean content. Now, it could be down to the whims of others deciding to one up bomb. Or, even better, a person could make 10 (non turbo) alts and use those to one up bomb themselves.
I don't think there's anything to apologize for. @laughatbrian likes to start these discussions and they are generally good discussions to have. No one is wrong or has done anything wrong, it's all about sharing opinions and getting the temperature of the room.
