Lots of users have asked for a currently playing feature of some sort. Go on my profile page and look under my user image to see what I think would be cool for a currently playing list.

Tell me what you think. Its just a simple list but I think it looks clean and cool. It could maybe have 10 games on it maximum or something. And Jeff and the crew could have a "Currently Reviewing" version perhaps ^_^

I think the staff was pushing for users to use the list options for those ideas.  You can name your lists whatever you want, so it takes care of anything users could think of.  It does look good the way you have it though.

He made it part of the image for his profile.  Right-click on it and select view image.

I think lists are not as easy to update as quickly as this idea would be, if implemented.

I like the idea. I think the profile pages in general need more customization, but I'm hoping that comes in due time. I know the staff is working on some really cool features, so it's just a matter of being patient.

I'm pretty good on MS Paint. I did the list in paint and then added it on to the bottom of the master cheif picture. As far as I can tell I made it pixel perfect with the right spacing between it and master cheif, everything is the right size, and the text is the right size and colour. I'm proud of it  :P

Yes we all know we can do it with the lists feature, but I think this should be seperate to normal lists.
This new type of list could maybe have new features too, like if you click on one of the games, it could show you all of the other users currently playing the same game.
Oh, and thanks for saying it's a great idea XD

Looks pretty cool. 
Shouldn't be too hard to implement either.

Thanks Manks... hey that rhymes.

Yeah I don't think the guys behind the bomb would find it very difficult to do, and bringing the gaming community together is always a good thing. ^_^
