Get a laptop cooler(cooler master, not local) and play games, no issues, unless your laptop has overheating problems, keep monitoring the temps via HWInfo and do not play in very hot temps or for more than 2-3 hours at a stretch, will go for 3yrs, but yes, overall lifetime of the components may be slightly reduced.
PS: Always play plugged in, do not play using the battery.

Get a good cooling pad from CM and play games, but not more than 1-2 hours at a time.

Well currently this is the 13th continuous hour of my laptop usage after 12hrs of farcry 3. 1 hr break in between but laptop was not switched off. No problems yet except once my system fan eas clogged with dust. And yes I do this once in 2-3 days.

Go ahead man , after all why do people spend so much of money on the GPUs , etc when you wont utilize it.
Just make sure you do it with ease , and carefully.
And make sure that you don't do it for prolonged duration , since its more harmful to your eyes,neck and back compared to your Lappy.
If possible use a Laptop cooler , if you can. That'll minimize the heat and will provide better performance and life.

Don't scare the lad guys.
Laptop gaming is a normal and common activity.
Just ensure the following for safety purposes.
- Keep the vents accessible to outside air.
- stop playing for 15 mins every 2-3 hrs of continuous gaming.
- Play plugged in
- external keyboard recommended if tge game involves massive button mashing.
Under these constraints I have played games like DMC,Far cry 3 for long stretches of time.
I have realised that if you just mount the laptop properly.80% of the job a cooling pad does has already been done.

I tried to run Counter Strike Source on my friend's Pentium Dual Core HP lappy (~5yrs old), it just couldnt run the game. FPS should have been around 6-7 and that too at the lowest setting possible.
Temp. was just !@#$%. It reached 92cwithin 10mins of starting the game.
mine reaches 93-95c with tf2
and lower with cooling pad though!

+1 for gaming on laptop. Got mine only for gaming and movies. But game only if you have extended warranty on the lappy, i.e. 1+2yrs of extended warranty.
