If you’re as adept in the kitchen as you are in the dungeons of Diablo III, you may be able to score an impressive amount of loot in the recently announced “Reaper of Recipes” challenge, sponsored by Blizzard Entertainment and Eat Game Live, a blog devoted to the culinary side of gaming.

Billed as “the ultimate Diablo-themed cooking contest,” the challenge simply requires the submission of a recipe (written in English) that not only fits the theme of Diablo III, but also looks good and — most importantly — tastes good. The recipes will be judged by Kierstin (@kierpanda) of Eat Game Live, who will prepare, photograph, and feature the winning recipe on the site, with the winner also receiving a heap of Diablo loot to go along with the accolades the chef will receive on Battle.net.

The reward for the winning recipe is an impressive cache of Diablo III swag that includes the Diablo III Collector’s Edition, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Collector’s Edition, and copies of the Book of Cain and Book of Tyrael.

The official announcement of the contest at Eat Game Live indicates that all culinary concoctions submitted for the “Reaper of Recipes” challenge will be judged according to three criteria:

1. Representation of the Diablo III theme
2. Creativity / Originality
3. Taste

In order to participate, you need only email your recipe to RecipeChallenge@blizzard.com before Sunday, May 11.

Everything we know about Alan Wake 2

Alan Wake Looking Grizzly In Alan Wake 2.

The original Alan Wake is a game that went through quite a troubled development before it was finally released. After many iterations and changes in scope and direction, the final product was initially a cult hit, but didn't hit the mass market it needed -- at least not initially. After two DLC episodes, a sequel was in the works to build upon the first game and revive some of the elements that had to be cut from the first in order for it to ship, but this was ultimately not meant to be. The sequel was canceled and a smaller downloadable game, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, was released instead.

Since then, we hadn't heard from our intrepid writer until he showed up in a very unlikely place. Featured in the AWE expansion for a completely different game, Control, Alan was back in the picture. With a remaster of the initial game catching everyone up on his first appearance, now was the perfect time to announce that the long-awaited sequel was back in development. We haven't found all the manuscript pages yet, but here is everything we know about Alan Wake 2.

An HP gaming PC with an RTX 3050 is cheaper than you think

You might think the HP Omen 25L is expensive when you first look at it. It has a sleek design and some powerful components, including the RTX 3050. Thankfully HP is including the Omen 25L in its gaming PC deals and bringing the price down to $815 from its original $1,350. That's a savings of $535.

Why you should buy the HP Omen 25L gaming desktop
The HP Omen 45L sits on top of our list of the best gaming PCs, but its smaller and cheaper counterpart, the HP Omen 25L, is also a worthwhile purchase for gamers. With the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, it wont have trouble running the best PC games. However, you may have to go with low to medium graphic settings for some of the more demanding titles because it only comes with 8GB of RAM, so our guide on how to buy a gaming desktop recommends upgrading to 16GM of RAM as soon as you can.
