The answer, as outlined in Question 37 of the Official Lee & Squinky FAQ, is "yes, as well as two people who met over the internet a few months ago possibly can know each other".

To date, he noted, research on video games has focused on their potentially harmful effects, such as promoting social isolation, addiction, and violence.
This is perfect, my mom just loves to throw ^those^ types of studies at me, she also doesn't believe me when I tell her that videogames arn't all mindless tripe and have stories beyond those she played in arcades when she was younger...
