You may have heard back in April about the massive Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption in Iceland (pictured above) which has done a pretty serious blow to the country's economy.
Developer of the space-themed MMO EVE Online CCP games are proud Iceland natives (some of them, at least), and so are supporting the government's "Inspired by Iceland" campaign, intended to boost the country's image, and presumably economy as well.
Check out their video below, which makes some interesting and heartfelt comparisons between their game and the beautiful country -- note EVE has its own volcano named Eyjafjallajokull. A particularly amusing bit takes place when CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Petursson compares their patching pipeline with Iceland's economy and responses to natural disasters.
You can find out more about the campaign at InspiredbyIceland.com, and also take in some stunning photographs of the eruption here and here.
