Internet

GTA IV includes a fake in-game Internet, featuring a number of websites.

You can access the Internet (via the in-game Web Browser) from any of the following locations in Liberty City.

• Any of the TW@ internet lounges
• Laptop in the safehouse located in Algonquin
• Computer located in the foyer of Playboy X's building

Websites

See Websites for a list of websites accessible in GTA IV.

Any website advertised ingame can be visited, such as those advertised on the radio, billboards, posters and TV.

Most of the websites are just for a few laughs (like fruitcomputers.com, which spoofs the company, Apple, by advertising such products as the Ifruit phone), but a few of them actually have a purpose (like whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com, which highlights all the pigeons and other hidden items around Liberty City). At least one site has a rather unpleasant effect when visited; littlelacysurprisepageant.com will immediately give the player a five star wanted level.

You can set up dates with people on love-meet.net, order cars, or buy ringtones and wallpapers for your cell phone. Your email is also frequently used for staying in touch with story characters and getting mission details sometimes. Brucie Kibbutz will also send you emails asking you to steal a certain vehicle for him.
