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.

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 came here to chew bubble gum and play video games, and I got some bubblegum right here. You are most likely to find Smash Brothers and Mario Kart here.
MtG: Arena is a serviceable way to play Magic the Gathering. It has been coded well to support the main Standard format but also provides a great Limited (draft/sealed) environment.
My three biggest complaints (making this a 4 out of 5) are:
1) The economics of wildcards and no dusting makes getting specific cards difficult if you are staying current in Standard
2) No Older formats. I play Modern and Commander in paper magic and there just isn't enough cards to make it similar on MtG:Arena
3) No 4 player support. Commander games are 4 players, if they brought Commander (even with the limited card pool) to MtG: Arena then it would be an amazing tool.
Even with the negatives it still plays MtG and it plays it well. I have rarely come across any bugs in the game which make me question playing.
Sea of Thieves has been a wonderful pirate experience for me. I have played the game since launch taking extended gaps along the way. The improvements that Rare has put into the game during the "Seasons" has turned this game into a brand new experience.
Once upon a time it was a slog to play solo because quests could take a very long time leaving you exposed to PvP. With the latest update to Captaincy you can now pick shorter quests if you need to.
As others have said this game is best when played with at least one other. This is really the only reasoning behind 4 Stars and not 5 in my opinion. The game really opens up to you if you can have a full 4 crew on a galleon allowing you to complete the hardest tasks in the game.
Overall though even playing this solo is exciting and fun. I can log on and do a quick treasure hunt, or kill some skeletons all while sailing around playing shanties and drinking grog.
The open world aspect of the game is great as well meaning once you load in.. thats it (unless you die).
For those who note the trolls and bad players... I chalk it up to being a pirate game where loot is never guaranteed. If that level of anxiety is too much for you than Sea of Thieves is not for you.
This is my second year of running MLB the show since it has launched for the XBOX. I played it back on PS2 days and it is downright the best baseball game on modern consoles. There is something for everyone from collecting players to play online in Diamond Dynasty, to playing solo in Diamond Dynasty with your super team, to the Road to the Show player career mode where you start in the minors, to finally the Franchise or Road to October (short season). My only negative is that the ranked play is pretty tough unless you are good.
