My main beef with the game still stands, that the sanity effects are way too blatent, and thus non-effective, instead of subtlety.
Oh and Weltall, I'm sure they could do some sanity effects in a series or a movie :D. Just use your imagination... "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system (Alex) this is only a test (Alex)"... Heheh... Well, as I said, they could do it more subtly, but you know, things like that. Maybe a false tornado warning or something that disappears... (well it would work in my region).
I do agree though, a series would be the best way to do it. However, it better be a GOOD series, and one that tells the story in an anime style, that is, part by part. The series should basically play EXACTLY like if you had a movie and cut it into 30 minute or 1 hour long parts and added "to be continued" to the end of it all. That's the main problem with other series like Star Trek Voyager, FAR too much just random encounters with totally irrelevent situations that are resolved by the end of the show.
At the same time, I also think that if they ever took the book The Silmarrillion and made it into something else, a series would do that the best justice as well, again, in the same way that I described, every single episode being to be continued.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
