I've been playing "Internet" for years now and I'm getting nowhere. Does anybody know how to activate "God Mode" on this thing?

[edit]

Synopsis: A young street kid grows up and becomes a cop when he realizes that crime doesn't pay. One of his childhood friends is in prison for a murder he didn't commit.


Reaction: A bit more drama than comedy. Not heavy drama, but it's basically drama punctuated with scattered bits of humor.
