You're assuming that "realism" is a hard line that can never be crossed. But if that's the case, why do movie directors constantly spend money on special effects, instead of just filming stuff happening in real life?
I don't understand how your movie analogy. How are these related? It's flawed in some "If you object to logging, try using plastic toilet paper paper" way. Even so, they're not spending that effect money on making the actors or sets (assuming they're not computer generated) to look better, and video games are rarely, if ever, conceptually realistic.
You think so? I don't. I remember thinking exactly the same thing about Doom - whoa man, this is real proper 3D and all, how can games ever get more realistic than this? And yet today it looks crazily primitive.
Maybe I'm a bit older than you, but I didn't think that at all... That horrible, barely animated hand stuffed in the exact center of the screen firing at oddly pixelated characters and running 90 miles an hour across flat, relatively barren levels. I do recognize fun, however. And I'd wager the public does, as well.

Probably not, as often humans to grant other HUMANS the same rights.
i.e. women, blacks, etc.
Even if you don't have the equipment or the knowledge, studio time, mastering, and replication are all very inexpensive these day.
Just don't expect to spend a month in the studio writing the album.

Cable ends are often gold plated so they don't rust, which can be very handy. Probably not for you, though.

Those are all pretty much moot points.

This would've been better if it was titled "article text" and everything after "part 2: installation" was after the cut.

He may have "made" pong, but it's pretty common knowledge that he ripped it off from Ralph Baer (who also invented the light gun, btw).
Better than the actual article.
