I was playing Trine 2 yesterday and checked the inside temperatures with iStat Pro after playing. It showed the GPU Diode at being 107°C hot. Is that bad for the GPU Diode or other components inside the MacBook Pro?
I was using it at normal room temperature and the MacBook Pro was sitting on a wooden desk.
Right now the GPU Diode is at 6°C and the GPU itself is at 25°C, and all I'm doing is browsing with Safari.
I have the late 2011 17" MacBook Pro.

It's probably not too much of a problem. If the system gets too hot, OS X will know to throttle down or shut down.
If you're worried or this happens too much (or the system declares it's too hot), take your laptop into an Apple Store or Apple Authorized reseller and have them check it out to make sure nothing's wrong.
