If your going gaming on the rMBP, the temperatures can get dangerous, so I would recommend a laptop cooling pad.

Dangerous? I never reached that temp. A poor choice of words ?
I'd like to know how hot the machine gets when playing either game as well as how low the settings have to be for a smooth experience without too many tradeoffs on the visual side.
When playing D3 and SC2, my CPU goes upwards of 90 degrees C and GPU goes around 60 degrees C.
Is this normal?!

Having dual graphics cards will help with the CPU strain.
I have to agree with the other guys, the temperature isn't dangerous at all, and if it was, there's protection in place.
I run both games basically maxed at 2880x1800 on my lap. That says something.
I run SC2 on my rMBP but only with externals: monitor/keyboard/mouse because it gets too hot to be comfortable quickly. Maxed out settings, no lag.
