STEELE: NFL more than interested in Reynolds The Midshipmen’s triple-option offense rarely relied on Reynolds’ throwing ability, as he only attempted 462 passes in his four-year career (less than what 16 quarterbacks attempted last season alone).

It seems a cult movie about her travails in ““Scream,” called ““Stab,” has inspired copycat murders. ““Scream 2” is not as streamlined as the original, and the killer (or killers) seems to have been picked out of a hat. But it’s still a hell of a fun movie–a thrilling marriage of Zeitgeisty satire and timeless scare tactics. Sidney’s movie-buff buddies say sequels suck....

But that notion quickly faded. Irrational Games head Ken Levine has been consistently coy about discussing multiplayer – he asserted that BioShock: Infinite would only add online play if it stood out from current mainstays like Call of Duty and Halo – and a rumor arrived in August claiming the aforementioned components had been scrapped, mid-development.
