1) oh god comic sans D:

2) that would depend on your temperature while running the game, most of the cases, no, i left my laptop running games at 99 celcius (NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL) for months, and its still alive today

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Don't do that, or the polar bears will hate you. Seriously, I personally don't like leaving my computer on when I'm not around and wasting power, and I think this shouldn't be done anymore. That out of the way, as it has been said, it all depends on the components you have : just make sure your PC don't overheat and you should be fine. That said, getting an SSD is the right solution, as you could get up to 10 times higher loading speed (or even more).
