As far as obsessions go, this is by far the coolest we've seen.

Japanese Twitter user @Sora12153128 has a room that a gamer would give an arm to live in. The post was captioned with a shout-out to his mother that read: "Don't get angry, mum."

According to RocketNews24, the Yamagata native spent a year decking out his room with arcade machines. There's no word on exactly how much the "renovation" cost him, but he's said that most of the machines are second-hand purchases.

Judging from another tweet of what his sleeping arrangements look like following the upgrade, it's obvious that this gamer has his priorities set out straight: Gaming > Sleep.

From his latest posts, @Sora12153128 has jumped onboard the Pokémon Go wagon since the game launched in Japan on Friday.

So as cool as his pad is, he's at least getting out of the house from time to time.
