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.

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.
I used to consume print books by the bucketful when I was younger. Now that I'm older and find myself on the go with kids and a lot of other stuff taking up space in my hands/car (and also having to regularly decide on what gets to take space in the house), I've switched things up a bit (also, I tried to hold on to a 100% print-only mindset for a long time and that ended up being a barrier to getting back into reading).
Now, I have a progression/hierarchy:
Lowest level- general reading, books/authors I'm not sure about or are unknown to me. This type of stuff I either get from the library (through Libby if I can) or Kindle Unlimited (I've got the 3 month trial that came with my Kindle and so far I'm actually liking it, might keep it).
Mid-level- these are books from authors I know and like or at least trust, ones that come highly recommended from people that know what I enjoy, Or that look/sound really interesting and I can't get from the library or KU. These ones I'll buy on Kindle.
Top-level- these are ones that I either know that I LOVE (have read before at least once) or know for a fact that I will enjoy (known author + highly rated + up my alley theme, etc). These will earn a physical copy spot on my shelf.
As far as audiobooks.... I've done podcasts in the past when I did more physical jobs that I could just mentally check out and listen to stuff, but I just can't get myself to invest in the story of a book when someone is reading to me. The only time I made it through one and liked it was when I listened to Ready Player One narrated by Wil Wheaton 😅
