I've read that Java was the first language that allowed the integration of sound and video online, is that true? If so, what else can Java do? It seems like a very elastic language.

Java Script and that is probably true.
Java can do amazing things but the problem with it is the versions are incompatable so if you use an app that requires version say 1.3 then you can't run an app that requires 1.4. This is just my experience with it.
You can do anything with Java that you can do with other languages and sometimes java can accomplish these things better. Once you build your program with Java you can then run that same application on Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix, FreeBSD and any other OS that has java runtimes. That was suns purpose for making Java. I think I also read something where Sun wanted to have java on ovens, microwaves, toasters, etc..

Sounds pretty complicated to me. I know a lot of cool games are made with Java, someday I'd like to do that.

Most programming languages are Turing-Complete, which means they can do any computation you can think of. If they have a way to get at the graphics abilities of the OS, then they can do anything graphically, as well. Speed can be an issue, however.
