TW@ (pronounced twat) is an internet café that appears in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and is interactive in Grand Theft Auto IV. The "TW", in "TW@", stands for "Totally Wireless", the phrase "Totally Wireless" can be seen outside some TW@ Internet Cafés. TW@ Also appears in GTA Chinatown Wars but it cannot be entered.

"TW@" is a reference to twat, which is a British slang term meaning "idiot". It is also a slang term for "vagina".

Descriptions

In GTA III, the TW@ café (in Torrington) is accessible, but not interactive. Two monitors inside the café show screenshots from Grand Theft Auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2, respectively. A stunt jump can be completed inside the café through the staircase.

In GTA Liberty City Stories, due to the earlier setting than GTA III, the TW@ café is only just being constructed. Its posters state - "Come and see the grand opening of TW@".

In the GTA IV Era, the TW@ Internet Cafés can be used to browse the in-game websites. They are accessible from the start of the game. The internet is introduced to the player in the mission Logging On where the player has to set up an Eyefind e-mail account. It costs $1 to use the computer. The stores can be robbed by simply opening the cash register and taking from $10 to $170, but doing so will usually result in a one star wanted level.
