Update 2009-03-14:

One, I fixed a bug when the script tries to parse the game name for a friend who is away.

Two, I added the ability to load a game icon instead of the just showing the name. It does not work with every game. I do not know of a way to associate a game icon with the game name other than to hard-code a huge list of icons. So I added a list of a few hundred games. I scraped my various friend's "played games" pages for icons. You can turn off the icon feature by setting useGameIcons to false at the top of the script.

Update 2009-03-14 #2:

I never intended it to load game names for offline friends. The only reason it wasn't before was because of the bug I fixed in the previous release. I fixed it so it checks to see if they are online before loading the game name.

I also rewrote some parts of the code for code reuse. (Made more functions.)

Update 2009-03-14 #3:

Added a few more games. Added your Friends or Friends page, too.
