Sep. 24--CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- This new little nook offers free wireless Internet, faxing services, computer gaming, video gaming systems, computer repair, networking -- and an assortment of food and drinks.

And it's a gamer's dream, offering computer games such as Crysis, America's Army and World of Warcraft.

It's believed to be the first Internet cafe in Charleston.

It was opened as a family operation, offering fun, technology and computer repair for all ages in a comforting and modern environment.

"We wanted to bring something totally different and new to Charleston," said owner Diana Matthews.

Brian and Diana Matthews recently opened Quickfix Computer and Quickstop Cafe at 888 Oakwood Rd., Suite 230.

Patrons of the Internet cafe can rent one of the 16 desktop computers for $5 an hour to use at their luxury for word processing, e-mail or gaming. With several tables and couches throughout the business, customers can also bring their own laptops in and enjoy free Wi-Fi.

The Internet cafe offers basic computer lessons two nights a week for both the young and adults who would like to brush up on their computer skills.

Clay Lohan, 17, has been to the cafe several times now. As a senior at George Washington High School, Clay enjoys playing Crisis with friends.

"It's a really relaxed atmosphere," he said. "All the stuff is really nice, and the prices are good. This is the first thing like this here in Charleston."

One of his friends, Sam McLaughlin, said being able to play the complex and expensive games at the cafe is quite an opportunity.

"They are pretty graphics-intensive," McLaughlin said.

For $10 an hour, a customer can rent the private game room equipped with a large projector screen and Wii, Playstation and Xbox systems. Two people can split the price for only $5 an hour.

The business can also be rented out for birthday parties or meetings for $15 a person.

Diana said the Wii, Xbox and Playstation game room has been a huge hit at birthday parties for young teenagers.

"Chuck E. Cheese is not much when you're 13 years old," Diana said. "It was the 'cool' party. And the parents were able to sit and relax and have cappuccinos."

Brian attended West Virginia Junior College to study information technology and was named the college's outstanding information technology student for 2005-2006.

After graduating, Brian worked for Dell in the Charleston Town Center mall and then at Staples as an assistant manager.

He has been repairing computers for five years.
