But can it play Crysis?

No. It's not meant for gaming and probably can't even run Minecraft.

Cool doesn't necessarily mean "for gaming"

but if you look at the transparent text however...
that's what i was responding to

Can it run any sort of rudimentary OS?

the main os right now is a version of debian squeeze with lxde and they're working on a version with lxde as well

That's pretty boss.

Does it come preloaded or does it have to be manually adapted.

it doesn't come preloaded, mostly because it doesn't have any built in storage.
you have to boot it off of an sd card that you've equipped with the disk image, although you can also use a usb drive for storage.

I opened the website link in a new tag, then played some tf2 and when i got back guess what message was there - you are banned

EDIT  here is why
you just typed raspberrypi.org instead of http://www.raspberrypi.org which gets you banned from the first one

Extreme eh

xD Fixed, but kept the other one on the list for lolz.

That would be really good for hosting an MC server.

I disagree, 256mb - 512mb of ram is nowhere near enough to run one of a considerable size, yes in theory it would be alright with a couple of friends, but I doubt the processor is fast enough either.

The processor is about on par with a mid-range Pentium II, so it is enough if you use a very lightweight linux distro, preferably without a GUI.

Also, I would recommend alocatting as much of the RAM to the CPU as possible (which wouldn't leave much for the GPU, which makes a GUI almost impossible anyway).

yes, it would, but most people wouldn't have the skill to know how to do that (let alone use any version of linux :P)

Anyone who doesn't immediately go "800 megahurtes? THAT SUCKZ!!!!!one!!!!!!!11eleven!!!!!" or "can it run windowz seven?!?!?!?!?!one!!!!" should at least know how to use linux. 

you'd be surprised
mac users are a bit more likely to be able to get around, although they may be afraid of such concepts as no instant updates

Actually, Debian and it's variants are quite easy to use.

they are, but again you'd be surprised how bad people are at using technology
however user friendly something is, it won't be what they're used to so they'll have a hard time using it at least for a while

you're making raspberry pi? impressive.
