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:

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.

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 promise, I'll choose some less serious stuff sometimes π I just freaking love Ender's Game, and I don't have anything I'm reading at the moment that's inherently quotable, so had to pull this gem out.
Oh, and if you *haven't* read Ender's Game, highly recommend. I haven't read the books after the first, but the first one stands alone as amazing (this is one of those where you definitely cannot just watch the movie and get the full impact of what the book intended, throw that garbage out, lol).
If you keep reading, go with the shadow series, Enders Shadow and all that follows. It tells the story of Bean. The main series is fantastic, but itβs nothing like Enders Game.
Oh it splits off different directions? Good to know. I've been on the fence for soooooo long about continuing because I've always read mixed reviews about the sequels, and I love the first so much that I don't want to mar that, haha
This one might also be coming up on time for a reread. I think the last time I read it was pre-kids, and it might have even been pre-military service. Probably a very different perspective coming into it now π³
Working at a bookstore and being able to borrow books was the best thing for me. Was easier to get out of my comfort zone at a price point of free. Absolutely loved this book and I wouldn't have read it otherwise.
