Grammy-winning British singer-songwriter Adele is currently in the middle of a multi-year Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace. «Weekends with Adele» runs until 2024, and the idea came about after the artist found herself fed-up with the touring life but still wishing to perform in more intimate settings where she can talk to the audience a whole bunch. Which is why she's now in PC Gamer, because it turns out her son's a Rust nut.
Adele's son Angelo was born in 2012, and during a recent show she talked about their Halloween arrangements, beginning with «do we have any gamers here tonight?» There are more than a few whoops from the crowd, which the artist finds very funny, before pointing out one guy who's «definitely a fucking gamer» and getting something off her mind about the holiday.
«Have you heard of a game called Rust?» Adele asks the audience to affirmative cheers. «Oh my god you have? So my son is into Rust [...] anyway so he wanted to go as a Rust character trick-or-treating. Now that game hasn’t been franchised, you can’t even buy party decorations from Rust, so I had to make a fucking outfit from scratch.»
Perhaps the most amusing thing about this is the Tottenham-born singer's strong London accent, so the swears come across as «fahking gamer» and «fahking outfit.» Incidentally, Rust has done a few tie-ins for gaming chairs and figures, though not the kind of stuff Adele's lad was after.
«Luckily I’m a wizard on Amazon, I can find anything,» continues Adele. «So I made this very, very homemade outfit, a Rust outfit for Halloween. I can’t say that he really loved it. It felt very homemade, then I got stressed and he got stressed and we had a bit of an argument that I felt bad about but then we went trick-or-treating… so that was my Monday and Tuesday.»
Having assembled various costumes for my kids over the years I can confirm: the little sods are never as grateful as they should be. I suppose the weirder thing with Rust is that you could pretty much wear a vest and pants and call it a Rust costume, though I bet this kid wanted the full-on helmet and rifle combo. The young man best learn to show some appreciation for mother's DIY skills anyway, before he ends up the topic of a banging tune about ingratitude.

On Instagram, Wright responded to a fan’s question about the difference between his version of Ant-Man and Peyton Reed’s 2015 movie.
Russell T. Davies’ return to Doctor Who as showrunner is the kind of Hail Mary thrown out by a franchise dangerously close to drowning. He left at the top of his game, handing the keys to Steven Moffat, who built up the show to a frenzied peak during Matt Smith’s run. The show broke viewing figures in 2012, and also finally broke through as a bona fide phenomenon in America thanks to a heavily marketed partnership with BBC America. While RTD (as he’s known by fans) saw further success with critically acclaimed shows like A Very English Scandal and It’s A Sin, Chris Chibnall’s tenure at Doctor Who was much less successful, and the show reportedly came close to being canceled as Jodie Whittaker’s run as the first female Doctor was poorly critically reviewed, and saw ratings go into free-fall.
