The people who were here last week know exactly how it works. And first of all, I also hope you all had a good weekend, and you relaxed, and took time off, and had a good fun, tourism, and yeah. And you're all ready for a new week. So how it works, we have every morning three hours of lectures by Hannah, Amy, Hadeem, and myself. Then from two, in the program I think it's two to 30, but essentially the room is booked from two to four. We have these tutorial sessions. And people who were here last week know very well. So, and we already told you hundreds of times, you don't learn mathematics unless you try to do mathematics. And there's no other way to digest what we are doing, then trying yourself to solve some questions. And so the tutorial session will work like everybody will be here. And we will give some problems, and you have time to try to solve them. And we will hang around the TAs, all the TAs, and also us, or at least a subset of us. So please, please, during the lectures, but also especially during the tutorials, we are here for answering questions. So we'll go around any questions about the exercises. We can give hints, we can look at your solution, but we can also re-explain. If it wasn't clear in the morning, and by trying to do the exercise, you understand there's some concept which you don't understand, please ask, ask, ask. We are here for explaining, and we're spending our time, and we want you to understand. So we are rather much happy if someone tells us, yes, I haven't understood them, we are very happy to re-explain. And I also know that I sometimes tend to speak too fast or go too fast, so I know last week, I think people told me that Wednesday I had a peak where I was super fast, then I tried to slow down again, but the people who told me that were the TAs. And I would have loved students. Don't be, I mean, yeah. Stefano kind of told us all this story, no, we can write letters for you, so you should show up. No, you should tell us, you are too fast, I'm not understanding, we are really happy if you tell us, and we don't hold it against you, we actually hold you as a sign that you want to learn, and we didn't do a good enough job. Okay, so this week, the title of my course is again, Renormalization, Renormalization in Entropy Zero Dynamics. And it will be completely independent from next week, so the new people can follow from independently, but if you were here last week, you will see a lot of analogies with what we did. So I bothered you a lot about rotations and how the Gauss map has to do with renormalizing rotations. And this week, we will essentially see two more examples of renormalization in action. And it will be kind of in two parts. Today and tomorrow, we will talk about the Sturmean sequences, which again have to do with rotations, but we will do some renormalization more of the geometric and symbolic level. And then in the second part, from probably Wednesday on, we will talk about, we will move from the torus to higher genus, and we will talk about internal exchange maps and renormalization in that setup. Okay, so let me first put on the first picture, maybe out today. Okay, so that's the first picture that I want to discuss today. And it will stay there for a while. So I'm going to look at unit square grid. Let's give it a name. So let me call lambda the unit square grid. Clear? I hope what I mean. Just draw vertical lines with spacing one and horizontal lines with spacing one. And then I'm going to call L a line, which in the plane. And I'm going to assume that it has an irrational slope. So this line makes an angle. We will call theta the angle with the horizontal. We will assume that the tangent of theta sine over cosine is irrational. I'm going to code the intersections of the line with the grid. I'm going to travel, travel along L. You can imagine you start from minus infinity. You move with an oriented as you wish, let's say. And you look at the point traveling along this line. And record, let's do it consistently red. Let's call record zero for when you hit a horizontal line, record one. Let's do it in blue when you hit a vertical. And actually, I think it's clear, but let's have a little bit animation. So for example, in this piece, this is a finite piece of my line. I start from the lower corner and I travel. I hit a horizontal, I write a zero. I hit a vertical, I write a one. Another horizontal, another vertical. Yet another vertical, so I have two ones. Then a horizontal, it's a zero. And then a vertical and so on. Okay, that's exactly the question I was going to expect. Okay, so I should tell you if you want, so what let me say like this? So I'm getting a sequence, let me call omega, the sequence which is by infinite in the alphabet given by letter zero and letter one. So if you want, you can think of this sequence as a sequence where the index of minus infinity to plus infinity. You can think it as a point in the shift space in the by-sided shift space. So actually last week, we talked about sigma two, the space of one side, sigma two plus one-sided sequences. This is a by-sided sequence. If you want to do this, you need to choose where the zero is. So for example, you can say that you move with time and after omega zero is the first hit after time zero if you're traveling with some speed. But I don't want to stress on what is the origin. So for today, because this creates some issues, so for today, I want to think of omega just as a sequence. So it doesn't matter where zero is, so up to shifts. So it doesn't matter where I put zero. I will just think of it as a by-infinite string, okay? The first comment is that the question I want to answer fully between today and maybe early tomorrow is which sequences appear in this way? So question? This was the question, sorry, sorry, this was the question. Okay, sorry, sorry, good point. So first of all, the line is irrational, so I can hit it most once. I can have a point which goes through a vertex, but so if you hit a vertex, you can record either. Either, doesn't matter. You can get the two sequences if you want, one where you record zero, one when you record one. So the question one is which sequences in zero, one arise? And let's give it a name, let's call these sequences as cutting sequences of the square grid. And once we understand this, we may even ask a second question. So if I give in a sequence, so given a such sequence, if I give you sequence and I tell you that I got it by recording a line, what was the angle of the line? Can you recover the angle? What is theta? We really fully understand these two questions. So first question is, do all sequences arise as cutting sequences? Can you get any sequence in zero ones? Can you give me one sequence which you cannot get? Constant, yes, because I'm doing irrational, good point. And if I look at non-periodic sequences or non-eventually periodic or non-eventually constant, still can you find some issues or something that you will never see in a cutting sequence? Yeah, this is very good and it's already quite fine. There will be some bound or so will be, you will not see arbitrary long strings of ones. And for example, can I see something like this? Can I see zero, zero, one, one in my sequence? You said no, yes, it's no, why? Can you try to explain why? Yeah, so let's try to convince ourselves that you cannot see this. So your line will have a slope. So it could be that your slope is greater than one or it could be that your slope is less than one. So this means that your angle is say, okay, that's not the booty angles yet. Something like this or something like that. But in this case, I can see one, one, but I cannot see zero, zero. In this case, so here there is no, zero, zero. And in this case, when there's low, no, this is the, here the slope is less than one. Here the slope is greater than one. And here you see I can see zero, zero, but I cannot see no, one, one. Okay, so I cannot see simultaneously zero, zero and one, one. So it's clear that these sequences will be a subset of the space of sequences in zero, one. And actually it's a pretty rare set. We will see in some sense they have measure zero and they have low complexity. I will say one more about that later. But first, we are the first days so we want to be everybody on the same space and we want to, I want to make a trivial, I mean trivial, if you haven't seen it. I want to make a remark. You can do what Amy just did in the morning. You can project R2 to R2 mod Z2. So you can quotient by the integer lattice. So define two points as equivalent if they differ by an integer translate. And then we saw this morning that, yeah, so the square is a fundamental domain for this equivalence relation. And if I draw a square, actually I should think of it as a square where the opposite sides are glued because these two differ by horizontal sides are glued by the vector, say if I get it right, zero, one. And vertical sides are glued because they differ by a horizontal translation by an integer. These two, vertical by one, zero, okay? So I think we've all seen that geometrically this is a way to represent the two torus. So this quotient is also called T2. And if I glue the opposite side of a square, I get a cylinder and if I glue the top hands of this cylinder, I get a donut.  Okay? And how does the projection of my line looks like? So if I project this irrational here, I want it irrational. If I project this irrational line, as I translate it back, you will see actually a dense picture. You will see a dense line. And what happens when I travel? So projection of L is dense. Well, why this is true? We will say in a second for now, believe it. And what happens when I travel along my line? As I travel inside the square, nothing happens. When I go to the top, I need to use my identification and come back to the opposite side in the base. One, one, then I don't know, two, we go to two. So you have to use identifications by translations, by these two integer translations, when leave the square, when at the boundary, the boundary of the square. Okay? So another way to say dynamically what's going on. So you can think of this, this is a trajectory, which is a solution of a differential equation, if you want. You can look at the following differential equation. X dot of t is cosine of theta, and Y dot of t is sine theta. This, the solutions to this equation gives you a flow. So 50 over point X zero, Y zero, say that this is a point in T two, or let's say it's a point in R two, T two, which is R two, mod Z two. This is just X T, Y T solution with initial condition X zero, Y zero. Very basic kind of definition, but this is called this 50, sorry 50, sorry 50 starts from the initial condition and solves this differential equation up to time T. And this really just moves you along a line with that slope. So I'm just traveling along T. And then if I am on T two, I need to use this identification. So when I go out, I come back here. And this is called linear flow, 50. It's called linear flow on T two with let's say indirection theta, I will call it like this. In a few days we will see linear flows on higher genus surfaces. So we will leave the world to the torus and we will go to surfaces of higher genus. That's why I wanted to also make this remark of what is the linear flow. And again, what I'm doing, I'm kind of giving a symbolic coding for this. This is a solution of some flow on the torus. I had an actual picture, but I haven't. And you're kind of recording how I intersect the horizontal and the vertical on the torus are like two arcs and I'm kind of recording how I cross these arcs on the torus. And again, let's slow down a little bit. Again, if you're doing dynamics and systems you certainly have heard of Poincaré map, but there are some people which are new to dynamics. So let me say this. This is an idea which goes back to Poincaré when he was studying flows which come from astronomy in some sense and motion of planets. So I will just do it in this concrete example, but in general, if you have a flow you can try to reduce it to a map by picking a so-called section. So let me call sigma. I will write it in our special example, but it's a general concept. Sigma in T2 will be a section. So a section, if you are learning dimension n, the section is something in dimension n minus one. It's like an hyper surface of co-dimension one. And in my precise example, I will just pick as a section the horizontal, which if you want, it's a meridian in your torus. For example, for us, let's say zero one, mod tilde, zero one with n points identified. This is the notation we used last week. And then I just want to define T as the Poincaré first return map. So T will go from sigma to sigma. And given a point in the section, T of x is just the first time. Well, actually I need to assume something about my flow and I think you won't pick me on. So in my example, I don't need any assumption because I'm assuming that my line is irrational. So what will happen, we will see in a second why it happens, but that actually my line will come back to my section. So I can define the first return time. So T of x will be phi of r of x of x where r of x is the infimum of t's such that t greater than zero such that phi t of x belongs to sigma again. So it's the first point where I'm back to my section. And if well defined, in our case it is. Trust me. So is it clear what happened? So let me, can you, again, I think I asked you last week, but can everybody see this lower corner of the board or not? Anybody cannot see it? I can rewrite it. Okay, so maybe we will, we will draw the picture on the other side. And I have a ready torus also here. So let me recall you. Where were we? Okay, so I want to say T of x is phi r x of x. No, this is the first return. First time went back. So on the torus, you know, you have this nice section and you travel, travel, travel, travel until you're back. And the map maps this point to the first return point. So in this picture, I think someone will have seen it for sure. What is the first, what is the Poincaré map in this case? So what is the Poincaré map of my linear flow on horizontal? Yes, and what is the angle? Yes, that's right. So now we'll do the picture for, sorry, I want to go slowly because I want to be sure that everybody knows, but okay, so let's do it. If I look at this picture, I travel, then I come back. The picture could be like this or the picture could be, I go out, use the identification and then back here. So this is x and T of x. Or it could be y and this would be T of y.  So this is a triangle. This height is one, right triangle. So this height is one. This angle is theta and I have to compute but he's already doing it. So if you call alpha the cotangent of theta, this is exactly what geometrically gives you this horizontal translation, okay? So T of x is x plus alpha. And you see very well that if I have a y which is very close to one, when I add alpha, I go to the other side and this is the modular one, okay? So this is exactly T of alpha, modular one. And one more step. One more step is what about my coding? So if I look at my coding and I look at the Poincaré map, what you can remark is the following. Let's draw, take the upper right corner and pull down my line until the section. So actually you can compute what this is. This is probably alpha and one minus alpha. So if I call, if I am in this segment, let's call it I one. And let's call this segment I zero. So I one is one minus alpha one. I zero is zero one minus alpha. And doesn't matter the endpoint. I'm not too worried about the endpoint. You can include it or not include it. Doesn't matter. So what happens if you are in I zero when you flow? Which side will you hit? When you hit the horizontal or the vertical? So if I have a point that starts in I zero, when I flow it, I will actually hit the horizontal. So I will kind of, my flow will hit the horizontal line and I will record the zero. If I am in this blue, a second half, when I flow, I will hit the vertical, okay? So I'm kind of forgetting where I am on the section. I'm looking where I next hit, okay? And what my flow does between the point where I am and the first return. So I just want to convince you that the cutting sequence that we were looking at, the sequence for the flow, now let's call it omega I and let's label it. Cutting sequence is actually the itinerary of my rotation of our alpha of some point, which I'll ask you to compute in an exercise this afternoon. So it's an itinerary of an orbit. We were using the notation O R, O orbit under the map RF of some point, of some X, zero one. And this is actually a bi-sided orbit. So my map is invertible, my flow is invertible, so I can also go backward and record where I was in the past. Last week we were using forward orbit and putting a plus. But this is like, this is just R alpha I of X as I moves in Z, some X. And this is the itinerary with respect to the partition I zero, I one. And we saw itineraries last week, but just to set notation if you weren't here. So this means that R alpha to the omega I, to alpha to the I of X belongs to I omega I for every I in Z. So what are we doing? I'm just doing my rotation and recording whether I am in the left or the right. This is analogous to recording where my line of my flow hits horizontal and vertical. And you have to be very sloped to do that.   We, this will become more and more clear because we will analyze, huh? No, no, no, here there's nothing. Here I just wanted to make a connection between this problem and symbolic coding over rotation. So last week, Hannah spent a lot of time describing what is the symbolic coding of the doubling map. And we saw that the full shift on two symbols is conjugated semi-conjugation. We studied the conjugacy with orbits of the doubling map. You remember? And basically we saw that all possible sequences of zero, one appear as itineraries of the doubling map with respect to first or second half of the interval. And what I want, the point I want to make that today or tomorrow I will tell you what is the symbolic coding of a rotation. A rotation is much less chaotic than the doubling map. For example, we saw that it's ergodic uniquely ergodic but for example it's not mixing. And this is reflected in the coding. There is a lot more structure and there are lots of more constraints and restrictions in the symbolic sequences which appear. And we will kind of describe those, okay? So I wanted to make this point to kind of, you can think we are gonna compare the full shift with whatever appears in this setup, which would be much more rigid than, much more constrained than the full shift. And I just want to kind of advertise that, so this cutting sequences of, I will call them square cutting sequences, but they actually appear, they are very much studied and they appear in the literature with many names. So we saw that this problem, equivalently is the symbolic coding of a linear flow in a square or the symbolic coding of a rotation with respect to some special intervals. But these sequences are also known, okay, they are known as rotation sequences. They are known as Sturmian sequences. That's the name that I prefer and it was introduced by Headloon and Morse. And I just learned yesterday when I was preparing this lecture that actually the name Sturmian comes from Sturm theorem, which is about zero of a polynomial like sine of two pi AX plus B. And you have to compare where the zero fit compared to the oscillation of sine X. So okay, so they're also known and you see a Christoffel words, Betty sequences, characteristic sequences, balance sequences. They are very, very much appearing in a lot of parts of mathematics. And they also appear from kind of applications or probably Sturmian sequences or cut square cutting sequences were understood by Greeks. The reason is that if you have two planetary things that move with irrationally related periods, for example, you look at the solar year. The solar year is just a rotation of the sun in a year and you look at lunar months. The lunar month is the rotation of the moon.  And you can ask, how many lunar months there are in a solar year? And you will know sometimes there are 12 and 13 or 13 and 14. How many 13? Sometimes there are less, sometimes there are more. It can be more or less, I forgot. Okay, there are 13 or 13 plus minus one. And that is actually what we will see happens in these sequences. And also in music. So if you look at the scales, musical scales, then you can pick two scales which are incommersionably related. Usually log two and log three appears and storming sequences have to do with how scales intersect each other. And again, so this is a digression. So again, I try to give some extras. Everything I write on the board, I try to go slowly. Everything which will be on the slide, you can stop writing because I will distribute it when there's sometimes a little bit of extra. So you can also characterize these sequences as having the smallest possible complexity among non-periodic sequences. So I want to tell you what this means. So if I have a sequence, I can look at the complexity of the sequence. It's a function P of n, when n is an integer. So if I fix n, P of n is how many words of length n appear in my sequence? So you should think I give you a sequence. I want to know how complex it is. I give you a window of size n and I start moving my window and see what do I see in this n block? What do I see in the next n block? What do I see in the following? And I can record how many different blocks of length n I see, okay? Oh, this is a typo. So there should be less or equal. And actually if it's periodic, it will be bounded. So in particular, it will be less or equal than n. It will be less than linear. Actually the complexity function will be bounded if my sequence is periodic or eventually periodic. And so it's less than linear. And actually less than linear implies eventually periodic. But in stormy sequences, if you're not periodic, the smallest the complexity can be is n plus one. And those sequences will have exactly complexity n plus one. And I will also ask you to check that if you'd look at, for example, the coding of the typical point for the W map, you actually see exponential complexity like two to the n. So these are in some sense very low complexity sequences, the smallest complexity among non periodic. And also this is kind of a reminiscent of the fact that the system has entropy zero. So if you know entropy, this is a fact of having entropy zero. And what I will do today, we'll start today and finish tomorrow. It's actually, there is a very nice paper by Caroline Sirius which gives this geometric characterization. And I usually give to read it to a lot of my undergraduate students. I think he ran and knows because the first thing she read when she did a master project in summer with me. But there is also if you want a more serious kind of reference on stormy sequences which goes into this complexity notions and balance. There is a very nice chapter of a book by Peter Fogg or written by Pierre Arnoux. And okay, this is all for the slides. And now I'm back to doing something. So let's look at elementary restrictions which we see by naked eye. And we already mentioned some. So let me maybe make this restriction into a definition and a lemma. Okay, so definition. So a sequence is admissible with value K. K is an integer. One of these two either, either, let me make it coherent, either zero K's either ones are isolated which means no one one occur. And blocks of zeros. So if one isolated the zero will come into blocks. I will give you an example. Blocks of zeros have length K or K plus one. I'll give you an example which is better than any definition. So this is an example. You have one, maybe you have two zeros. Then you have maybe three zeros. Then you have another two, another two, another three, and so on. So ones are surrounded by zeros and between two ones there are here, for example, either two or three. And in this case, K is two. Is that definition clear? Yeah. And this we will call type zero. Wait, let me say, yeah, type zero. Type zero if there are lots of zeros. There is another symmetric K's one or zeros are isolated. This is type one and ones blocks of K or K plus one symbols. And the first lemma is that if omega is a square cutting sequence, it is admissible. Is the statement clear? So either zeros or ones are isolated and blocks come with the difference of one. And I sketch the proof and the idea is the following. There are two cases. So if the time, we already saw kind of this first part. If the tangent is less, say less or equal or less than one. Ah, let's do first, if the tangent is greater than one. So if the tangent is greater than one, geometrically you are convinced. I hope that you cannot see two ones. So there can be no one one by a geometric restriction looking at a square. And what about K? I claim that K is actually the integer part of the tangent. Which by the way, maybe I will remember is the integer part of one over the cot tangent. So it's an integer part of one over alpha. And if you were here last week, you will recognize what this is. It's related to the Gauss map, but okay. So K is the integer part of one over alpha. What integer part of the tangent. So if for example my tangent is in between, I don't know, three and four. Then it means, I don't know, if I were starting at zero, it would mean that I hit, I move out between the third and the fourth square. So I hit three times. But I don't start at zero, I just start at some point. And you can convince yourself that by moving the point, occasionally you may hit four times, but not more than four. And similarly, let me just say something about the other case. So if the tangent is less than one, you can reason in the same way, or you can use a flip. You can reduce the other case to the first case by reflection. You can reflect at x is equal to y and zero and one are exchanged. Zero and one swap. And you can reduce it to the previous case. It's a useful observation. And let me say, and of course I run out to space, but okay, let I put it here. In this case, K is actually the integer part of one over the tangent reasoning in this way. I would like to get to state what's going on next, and then we will do it tomorrow. But I want to go a little bit ahead now, and then I will repeat from here tomorrow. Okay, so I need maybe one more step, and then I can state some theorem. Okay, definition. Am I, everybody's with me until now? You're clear with admissible? Okay, say that omega is admissible of type, let's do one case, the other one is similar, of type say zero with value K. I'm going to define omega prime as a new sequence called derived sequence. Derived sequence. And this is obtained by grouping these blocks and giving them a new name by replacing, so let me do it right, we are of type zero, so we will see blocks like one followed by K, sometimes K plus one, but I look at the block one K, and this is sometimes you can write it at zero to the K. So this is a notation. I write one zero zero zero as one zero to the power K, replacing one zero zero K with one, and keeping zeros, keeping the extra zero. And again, an example speaks better than many words. Again, this is where I don't want to keep track of the mark point zero, if I do it with sequences I need to worry what do I do, where do I put my new zero in my sequence, and this is delicate, and if you want to know what really you want to do, you have to read our new book. But say that my sequence is like this, say that the value of what I did before, zero zero one, maybe zero zero one, maybe three times zero, and then another two, then another three. So what do I do? I look at each block one zero zero zero, and I call it one again, one zero zero, I call it one again, sorry there was a one here I guess. One zero zero, it's another one. I record my sequence, and if I have a fourth one, if I have a third, if I have a K plus one block, this I keep it as a zero. And then I have another block, one, another block, one, and this extra zero, I keep it as a zero. Okay, is it clear what I'm doing? And it might happen that my new sequence is not admissible anymore, but if it is again admissible, I can derive it again. So if omega prime is admissible, derive it again. I've finished with the statement, and I think I'm already, no I'm not over time. I'm just right. So theorem, cutting sequences, square cutting sequences. Okay, let me leave some space. Square cutting sequences implies infinitely derivable, are infinitely derivable. This is quite magic, because if you pick a sequence at random, it's not gonna do this. And even if you pick a sequence which is admissible, and you derive it, it will not be admissible. You have to be very delicate, it's to make it really happen. So you wonder each derived sequence is admissible. And this would be, I make all the statements, and I will start from here tomorrow. Theorem two, if, let's k, k one, k two dot dot dot are values, is the sequence of values of derivatives of derived sequences. If it's infinitely admissible, the arrived sequences. If it's, if I have a cutting sequence, I know that it's infinitely derivable by theorem one. I can derive and look at the values. The values are the lengths of these blocks. I look at the original length of block, then tangent, the tangent, and maybe will be given by a continuous fraction expression given by the case, k one plus one over k two. This is actually if tangent is greater than one, otherwise you don't have the k one. One over k two, k three dot dot dot dot dot. And last week we spent a lot of time on continued fractions and many people told me that they all had seen continued fraction. The new people, if you haven't seen continued fraction, you can look at the notes from, which are all lined from last week. But they just need, and I'm not gonna use anything essentially then this is an expression, it's called the continued fraction, okay? So this is what we will prove tomorrow. Thanks, okay.

Thank you very much for joining I think I said hello to Chad, but if not hello again So I got nothing I got nothing but this but this ridiculous max-headroom max-hoodroom costume And motion and moving around a lot That's all that's that's basically all I've got And the in the complete inability to read anything with it. I cannot read any like I see Text on the screen. I cannot read it at all cannot read it at all so my thought was For every super chat, I would drink new coke, but New there is no new coke new coke is old coke. So I can't drink new coke Like what can I drink? You know, that's better than new coke. What? I Could drink bleach or something for every super chat, but I'd actually I'm out of bleach So I can't drink bleach. So it's what I thought I would do And this would make The the real max-headroom Spin in his digital grave, you know, it would make it his circuit scramble Is for every super chat. I will drink the rival of Coca-Cola a Pepsi Cola That that's one way that's one way to get the real max-headroom very upset with me very upset There are words on the screen right now.

I it's it's like an old thing that I've always done is put peanuts in Pepsi And like the saltiness mixes with the flavor and it's it's in my opinion is pretty good I don't know if anybody would agree with that, but it's just it's a thing. It's a thing Hello JKC's Nice to see you there so What what am I doing? I don't know hello jump in general. Thanks for doing I'm doing all right. Thank you Hello stone Stonegate creations so Hi So Yeah, yo max head so a Completely unrelated. I'll get I'll get to the GI Joe in a second because I've got I've got the GI Joe's to look at I've got I've got your your rock and rolls and stuff, but something happened Just before I got started here I will admit That I'm not the best at getting back to private messages and emails and stuff. I know that I'm terrible But there are things that kind of discourage me sometimes from From checking those messages and I got such a message today on Facebook somebody sent me a message not that long ago with some remarkable delusions, I mean it's remarkably Strange somebody who definitely has some mental health issues some Got some problems to work on Probably should be speaking to a professional rather than sending me a message. I just ignored it But I got a follow-up message today now this son these messages that I'm getting are accusing me of all kinds of conspiracies and Being in cahoots various religions that I'm not affiliated with really fascinating stuff fascinating stuff also with like Accusations about my personal life that are like just pulled out of nowhere the person apparently thinks that he knows where I live but Obviously doesn't So there there's a guy that needs Needs a little help needs a little help So yeah, so I get stuff like that from time to time and it's like oh, that's not That's not what I want to read. That's don't need that in my life. But anyway, I digress Rock and roll who we got hello impossible pie Yeah, yeah, someone wearing a tinfoil hat. Yeah, we got we got some some amazing and interesting messages recently on the on the Facebook, so Yeah, fun times I it's like I don't I don't know that I want to necessarily share the Messages because I don't want like any undue attention to be brought to the guy on the other hand If this guy ends up actually being crazy, I would like somebody other than just me to know that it's happening So so I'm telling you crazy stuff crazy stuff anyway Where am I? Rock and roll Rock and roll So I think that was white Vegeta that was on there before it disappeared. Hello white Vegeta. Hey, it's Robbie Rosary. Thank you very much Thank you very much Robbie Rosary Check out Robbie Rosary some of the time on what's on Joe mine Rob is on some on some episodes And what's on Joe mine is a great show. I try to always catch it I'm not always active in the The chat, but I always try to catch it anyway Yeah, I'll try Yeah, yes, he might find you guys next it might have something to do with the fact that I sent him over you And I didn't do that. I'm just kidding. I didn't really send anybody to you but anyway what I got What what I got is is Is very minimal. I've got I've got the the anti coke to drink for any super chats and I've got I've got I've got armor tech figures. I've got I've got our Cobra bat. There's Bradley. Good Thank you for the soup chat. Did you get my message with the ad from 1984 machine new dreadlocks figures? I believe I did and thank you very much and Bradley you earn You you get the a drink of the soda Thank you very much Bradley and thank you for the message as well So anyway, what are you what I got in here? Um, I got I've got rockin. That's not rock and roll. I've got I've got rock and roll. Now either way like say what you will about It should be crystal Pepsi. It would be great if it were crystal But anyway, say what you will about your armor tech figures. That's a pretty good head sculpt for rock and roll I support that head sculpt. I think that's a good rock and roll head If you took this and unfortunately, there's no back screws So you cannot take this figure apart at least not in you know by conventional means But if you could take this apart and like put it on the body of a version one rock and roll I don't think it would fit but if you could fit it It would it would be all right. It's just attached to a giant robot body And I've got like the accessories that I have for that one is like the The yellow ones I've got the rest of the frame here, but but yeah, rock and roll came with yellow and purple accessories and I thought I had all of the armor tech figures, but going through this I Obviously don't That I don't have Duke. I have Hawk. I think I have Hawk and I was think I was thinking Hawk was Duke Any opinions on the upcoming Super 7 GI Joe ultimates line that is a line I think I will I will dabble in I'll get at least a couple of them kind of to check it out I mean, I think it's obvious that they're not gonna make it in classified scale Hasbro what kind of wants to keep You know keep the classify the six inch scale in there Oh, thank you the killer weezer since you are dressed from Durand Durand video You should sing a verse from an 80s song sing a verse from an 80s song Now I don't know if I can technically do that hello Magnus. Thank you for joining. I don't know if I can technically do that Because I did sign a congrats a contractual agreement not to sing anymore on the show So that's a tough one. That's a tough one I didn't promise to never sing again last time I sung it did not go well eardrums were burst Caesars were had it was it was not pretty hello Cobra Island. Thank you for joining So Okay, so yeah, I am missing I don't have all the armor tech figures. I don't have all the armor tech figures Uh, I have 11 seconds before a copyright hit. Yeah, see I there's a little window there And you know my singing would be so spot-on so Recording accurate that AdSense would just pick that right up Hello, I think I said hello to Chris Meyer, but hello again, Chris Meyer And we've got We've got Destro this this Destro This Destro has always amused me because Like look at the size of his head his head is tiny Uh, and that's supposed to be a man. Hey, it actually focused.   Uh, Ivan. Thank you very much You know what this reminds? Yeah, he he also apparently chopped off his left arm to To put a missile launcher on it, which you know as you do as you do what this reminds me of is the The the v action figures remember the tv show v With the aliens that wore human masks where there was an action figure. I can't remember who put it out I think it might have been me go, but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, so the v action figures They had the the alien guy that had the the human face was removable You know and he had the lizard face underneath it, but Um because you know the the thickness of the plastic of the human face When you move that the the the the alien lizard head was tiny It was it was very tiny It they had to make one or the other heads, you know realistic size and I guess they went for the human head If they made the lizard head, you know Proportional then when you put the human mask over it that it would be like it'd be like a football helmet So that that's what this reminds me of it. It reminds me of of tiny head v lizard man Um, I I have seen a couple of those v action figures in the wild So, you know, I've seen them in person. They're they're quite amusing. You should look those up. Um I have well I I have robo joe and and and robo joe is still it's still a little upset with me. He's still a little upset Um, anyway, so I have the robo joe I also have hawk and this figure This figure makes me nervous because there is Some gold plastic on this figure There is a fair amount of gold plastic on this figure and it feels like It feels like that kind of plastic that could get the gold plastic syndrome and become very brittle It still feels pretty solid. It still feels pretty solid But But it makes me nervous. It makes me nervous. So I'm just I'm gonna I'm gonna treat this one with kid gloves Um, so I think I think that's all the armor tech figures that I have I do have I do have rock and roll still on the card um as well because I wanted to get the the variation of the The accessories uh, he has he came with both yellow and purple accessories I have the yellow accessories loose. So I got a carded example of this figure with the purple accessories So I could show indeed that it did come with both. Uh, so yeah, that's it the other star brigade figures that I have are Are the standard, you know, the standard ones You know standard construction gi joe figures So, yeah, I I kind of feel bad, you know for not having like something to open for you or something to read Something to show you something new something new to show you don't really have that so um, oh, thank you matt, uh Matt for the super chat seal that hawk and carbonite Uh, if it uh, if it does have a gold plastic, yeah, it's um, see that that's what I'm worried about So I'll try to keep that one kind of segregated keep it safe. It may be fine. I don't know I don't think there are a lot of those figures floating around I don't know if anybody has ever experienced, you know, brittleness or wreckage with that figure It just makes me nervous nervous Um, Ivan likes starboard block.  I think I think this would be all right, but yeah, but obviously he's um like I mean no human human is proportion like this is his shoulders would have like his arms would have to be like in the in the robot arms like like this so, um Uh, do I have the star brigade armor bot? I do have the star brigade armor bot. It is uh, not complete. Thank you, Chad Uh, I know I ask every other week, but how's the road to joe fest funding going the road? First of all, let me let me let me Have a nice tasty brev rich on your behalf. Thank you That's a good question honestly the um, I haven't been promoting it so it really hasn't had any new movement Thank you for reminding me. Um, um, I'll you know, I'm gonna post that on on the social medias To remind everybody. Um, I mean it's mostly funded. I'm I'm very confident that we're gonna make it Like I said before I've already booked the table. I've already booked the hotels What we're gonna make it so I just I think because like it looks like is we're very clearly gonna make it for that reason I haven't thought about it as much so but I need to think about it. I need to think about it So thank you very much for reminding me reminding me and I will remind everybody else on that for those who are not For those who have no idea what we're talking about Uh, didn't he have a gatling gun arm? Are you talking are you talking about like This rocket rocket roll did not have a gatling gun arm But version two did have like the the twin double gatling guns. That's like quad gatling guns um How long it took to edit the max header it took Honestly, it took like half of the day to just edit that I think that segment was uh Like it was less than man. I think it was less than 40 seconds and it took It took hours It took hours, um to uh, it took like at least half of of a full work day To uh, just to edit that that little piece there right before the video So, um, it's just it's a lot of quick cuts It's multiple takes It's it's you know, it's multiple tracks to deal with It's the background and the green screen and and then an overlay on top of that As well as additional text additional images And like I knew what I wanted to do and I I shot it the way that I wanted to shoot it But the the fine details of exactly how it was going to come together. I had to kind of Figure that out as I went, you know, um, I can have the best intentions when I shoot the video But when I'm actually editing it and I look at the video, um, maybe not everything that I think I can use I can actually use Uh, um, so the joe fest thing. Yes, joe fest is in august to georgia uh in june It is my intention to go there I do have a go fund me The link for which is not in the description of this video, even though it should be So, um, it's at the end of june and and I should be there.

I think it's very interesting kind of a broad overview of not just gi joe, but Other 80s toy lines and that kind of thing is very interesting to me. I just I like the research and I like the You know taking a different perspective on those things and kind of uh and uh taking a broader view So do check out timmer's video. I thought it was very good And make sure you subscribe and check check out all of timmer's videos. I think they're all very good Um, I I'm a big fan of timmer and I like timmer personally.

Um, and then we careen we just careened off We just careened off off the rails off the rails Um, but uh, but at any rate Joe fest be there um Yeah, so wow, okay, um As soon as I think of an idea as soon as I think of something to say then then I will say it I will say it. It's been an eventful day. I've been busy. I have been busy. Um I I've been productive. Hello bad ape. Nice to see you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'm I'm I'm uh I'm moving my way to internet Fame this is this is the key Uh to internet stardom um Uh, thank you. Thank you very much. Ivan. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. Um Uh, what do you say the max headroom sketch is the best yet? Uh, I mean it's I'm really happy with it I like how it turned out. Um It's maybe uh as difficult as it was it may be a less elaborate than some sketches But I do like that it was it got it got the point across And I think it did not overstay its welcome. So For that reason, I I like it and I don't want to toot my own horn, but I I did like that. I I I was pretty happy with how that turned out Uh max hood room. Yeah, that's right. See um anyway, um As soon as I think of something to say, oh, yeah productive. Okay, so, um, the next so the next review Uh, I don't have anything shot yet, but I've been I was very productive today I got almost The all of the notes done. I got almost everything. Uh, hello, yo, joe What classified figures are you most interested in seeing this year? Um, I Uh, I'd say Crimson guard is like way at the top of that list. I'm also curious about zirana. I think zirana could be a good figure too I thank you paul. Thank you very much Um, so, you know, I didn't get uh video shooting done today I got a lot of preparation and writing done today a lot. It was actually a quite productive day I was pretty happy about it. What this means is I should be able to To get a video complete. That's The week always starts with a bit of anxiety like Can I actually get this thing done? Can I get this? This video Actually completed. I've got I've got nothing. I've got a blank table. I've got a blank sheet of paper You know blank computer screen. Can I actually get this done? Well Now that the writing is done now that the writing is done Um, I I feel pretty confident that I can finish the video now Like, um, I need to I need to finish a little bit like like the very end part I need to finish that a little bit, but I can do that That's no problem and then just set it up and then get started shooting. You know what I'm saying? um So, yeah With the schedule that I have if I'm gonna keep up with it, you know, I gotta keep I gotta keep things rolling along, you know Sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to sit on something. Uh, hello dendo star. Thank you very much um Sometimes I think it would be nice to kind of sit on something for a couple weeks You know, uh, put maybe more time into it but what I found is Putting that extra time into a video doesn't Always result in a better video at least not much better not better enough that uh, That it's worth the extra time. So, you know, I think there is let's see Comic tropes. Do you get recognized in public? You should hang out with in, uh, the g ijo toy isle target I Honestly, actually I have gotten Uh, recognized a couple of times locally. That's interesting Um, mostly though if I get recognized it's at joe con or joe fest It's the one place and time On earth and in the history of uh, like The world where there are enough people gathered in one place That would actually know who I am so But but truthfully though, I have I have been recognized locally. That's very interesting That's kind of amusing when that happens. Uh, so anybody local who recognizes me. Hello in advance Thank you Um, I did I did there was something I wanted to talk about I forgot that small thing small thing The uh this youtube channel's Six-year anniversary is coming up Uh in the middle of april. So pretty soon What What I've usually done for that is just do a review and make it like a special anniversary review Um, but in this case Uh, I I don't know that I necessarily want to tie a review to the anniversary I kind of like to keep the anniversary sort of as a separate thing Um Uh Sorry, I I'm trying to I'm trying to read you guys type fast. Anyway, sorry Um, what I think I'm going to do for the anniversary is do some kind of a just a special anniversary video Uh, so what I might do is do one of those things where you can be in the video if you want to So if you want to send in a clip of something just anything you want to say for the anniversary Then, um Then I then I can put all the clips into a special anniversary video I really think that I'd rather do that than to Kind of make it a part of a review. I kind of just kind of feel like the reviews should be focused on the review Yeah Six-year anniversary is candy or iron interesting That's a uh, so Anyway, that's uh, that's the idea. Um, I I obviously it's gonna come up pretty soon. So if I'm gonna do something like that I've got to announce it like for official pretty soon. So I can't spend too much time thinking about it, uh, but but I'll figure out the the The specifics of that uh in the very near future. So if you want to participate that uh in that you can Uh, also Another thing that I really need to work on is I've got to get some Cobra convergence stuff done I know it's it's not starting until July, uh, but There are things that I have to be done before July and I was hoping to be a lot further along that I am I know that there's still months to go but that time will go fast That time will go fast. It'll get away from me and then things will be done at the last minute And that's not how I want to do things so We will have our regular lineup of Uh presenters for for Cobra convergence. There will also be an opportunity as there usually is for Uh, everybody to participate and create their own thing and even use use the Cobra convert logo for for things So there will be an opportunity to do that and also I will Do a promotion thing for everyone else who participates in Cobra conversions as I've done each year I was thinking of maybe adding some kind of Interview or something just or maybe a live thing. I don't know just adding something uh, just to uh to to allow a little bit more interactivity And uh to the event a little bit more real time For the for the event. Oh, hello toy connections. Did you see that? Thank you for joining so um I've got to work out the logistics of that if that's something i'm going to do so Things to do things to do Um life has has not made that easy life has just kind of Stuck its big butt in the way um Have a live zoom thing with a new uh Cobra convergence folks chatting about gi joe news. I think yeah, something like that. See the uh comic tropes What i'm thinking is something along those lines Uh, but it's it's not not something that is not something to do at the last minute I need to that needs to be planned a little bit. So, um Oh, uh One ideas. I have to oh, thank you toy connections. Thank you. Um, I I will I will try to communicate better with the participants about You know what what i'm working on in the progress for the participants like um You you guys you get to create, you know, what whatever you want. So And and you will have your date of the calendar and all that Um, I want to make sure that it's promoted. Well that you know, we get the word out That there's some buzz and excitement that the community the whole community Uh is going to look forward to it and enjoy each and every entry Uh, and i'm working on that i'm working on it. Um, so but yes life Life sticks its big butt in Life does have a big butt doesn't it? Life has a big but I cannot lie Aside from the defiant what vehicle place that uh, you most like to get for the show the general The general that big honking thing Um, I've looked at it and looked at it. I found a few that I was close to pulling the trigger on but they were not complete That's the problem. Like I could get a an incomplete one And then find the parts to complete it, but then by the time you buy all the parts To complete it it ends up being like really expensive. It would have been more cost-effective to just wait and find a complete one So I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet, but the general I That's the one that haunts my dreams the general um The defiant the defiant um, well, I mean the defiant is is Excuse me. It is what it is um, it's it's about 90 66 percent complete give or take um How's the hose coming? I'm not wearing hose, but but thank you. Thank you for asking um What I think though is For the defiant. I mean, but unfortunately all parts for the defiant defiant are expensive There there are there are like no cheap parts for the defiant defiant uh But what I'm thinking is like The the bit some of the base vehicle Should be in better shape And I need to see if I can clean and repair it and get it to a point where Like the gantry and the uh, the booster are in decent condition and worth, you know worthy of being put Um in front of a high definition camera for a review Or if I just need to if I need to like If I need to start with a better base vehicle, you know what I'm saying? Um, I haven't decided yet, but but that's the challenge. I mean, there's nothing there's nothing you can do with Uh, the defiant that's inexpensive. Stonegate says reproduction parts if if it were just Just for my collection a reproduction parts wouldn't be a big deal But I'm going to be showing it in a review and um, even though reproduction parts often time look like Uh real parts at a glance I will be showing them close up And people will be looking at that and maybe making a decision on whether or not they want to purchase uh The item themselves so Somebody might look at that see a reproduction part and mistake it for The genuine part and not know what to look for. Oh more caffeine. Thank you comic tropes. That's what I need Killer weezer in the words of eight easy have a drink on me. Thank you killer weezer. I will Thank you So yeah, but for the purpose of a review, I feel like I need to make sure that I have authentic parts So, yeah, uh, that's the challenge and you know getting a complete defiant You know, it's skip all the parts and just get one complete. That's A pretty penny as well. There's just Just no there's no cheap way to do it No cheap way to do it. Hello mcdj acdc. Nice to see you. I don't think I saw you earlier But if not any hello, thank you for joining um Anyway, so yeah, um, I had an idea though. I had an idea Um, when I got the gold head steel brigade Uh, yes, uh, that see that's the joke bob dungeon. He like we're doing the the anti poke Uh for irony purposes. Anyway What was that saying?

Thank you Um, and I didn't think about it for years because I didn't really look at it Um, but then a few years back, you know, I was looking at retro stuff And I look at max headroom and I'm like wait a minute That that's not computer. That's just a guy, isn't it? It's just a guy in a background, isn't it? um and um Hello guys. Hey, thank you for joining. Thank you for joining um So, yeah, I never really thought about it until just a few years ago Uh that max headroom might not be just a cgi guy um also for in my video um, I I did I did a little bit of the the the max headroom uh television broadcast um hijacked thing For those that are not aware What was the year was it? I think it was 1988 ish. I think it was 1988 round then um A local television broadcast was hijacked by somebody wearing a max headroom mask and You know spouting nonsense um, there was a a news broadcast That was broken into briefly and then a broadcast later a broadcast of dr. Who was interrupted with a max headroom guy you know Max headroom, you know a max headroom guy max headrooming. Yeah, chicago 88. I thought it was that's yeah, that that was it um And no nobody has ever found who did it. There have been theories. There have been theories none of them completely, uh proven The statute of limitations has passed It could come out and say I did it You know produce the the tape that used you know um But but nobody's ever come forward. Nobody's ever come forward to take to take credit for it Some have thought it was an inside job killer weasel. Yes, some have thought it was an inside job Nobody's been able to prove that either um Yeah, it's and like um tv signals I mean cobra commander does it all the time But in reality the hijacking of tv signals doesn't happen Uh, that's not a common occurrence so, um You know what that means though Oh, you know what that means Okay cobra commander did it first. Okay, so somehow max headroom got his hands got his digital little hands on cobra commander technology to break in and hijack A local tv station Josiah Uh, thanks for steamer week, uh together. Um, thanks for the stream every week together at hope to see everyone on fridays What's on joe mine stream? That's right and what's on joe mine is here and present At this very moment. Why am I pointing? Why am I pointing? I don't know. Um anyway just remember I'll see. Um, according to my thingy here. Uh, we're closing in an hour. I will I will wrap it up, uh in an hour For a couple reasons. First of all, this jacket is is warm Uh, said of all, I've expanded a lot of energy, you know becoming youtube famous Uh, and so now i'm tired Um, sorry for poking you in the eye Uh, what's on joe mind? That's uh My mistake I was I was aiming at that other guy. I accidentally hit you, but I was aiming at that other guy Um, so yeah, so so now I'm exhausted. I've gotten quite youtube famous, you know for one evening So, uh, so I'll need to rest up. Plus I need to finish my uh notes for the next Review, like I said, they're basically done, but I need to finish just that much just that much um Chad, thank you chad Um, and hey, and you know what? I actually haven't belched Very much from the carbonated soda. It's it's a christmas miracle. Um Uh, I think who do you watch that youtube mechanics guy kim war that uh talks with his hands I don't know who you're talking about, but He obviously copied me I actually invented Moving your hands on camera before I did it nobody moves their hands on camera um I I'm a strange person I'm an odd egg. I will admit that I don't know what's wrong with me Uh, and if anybody finds out, you know, let me know uh, so What have we learned today? Let's see.   Sorry, man um What else do we learn uh the road to joe fest Um, I I have not shared that link in quite some time. I think sparser Uh secret of movement on youtube and not give the car keys to lower life see Sparster is getting it. Sparster is getting it um We learned to move we learned that uh youtube fame is all a matter Of moving around a lot It gives the false impression of energy and charisma um, and uh Uh, oh, yeah, joe fest working on it. Uh should make it already booked hotel already booked the table, um Trying to get my car Ready to go once and for all Um, don't have architect duke because it's the only only architect uh, oh you you have duke. Okay, cool Got him carded off ebay a few years ago. Yeah, that's cool. I'll tell you the um These things just a few years ago Mint on card. We're going for a song I we're going I mean, that's why I picked up, you know, when I got the my carded, um rock and roll with the With you know with the accessories variants on that's why I got it on the card Because it was easy. It was cheap to get it on the card Why bother, you know trying to find a uh mint loose complete example and I can just get a card example and you know And all I needed was to show side by side the yellow versus the purple accessories Hey sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse. How are you doing? Um, thank you very much for joining another excellent youtube channel Um, so I was like Why not get it carded? So, yeah, um, I have noticed that the prices on 90s carded figures has been trending upward. I think that's To be expected. Uh, I think a lot of 90s kids are reaching that age Thank you. Um, uh peg warmers. Uh, yes, say hit hit the button frank um A lot of 90s kids are reaching that age where they're they get back into, you know, they're Collecting the things that they're nostalgic about so that I think that's going to increase over a few years as more People who grew up in the 90s start coming into the hobby The demand for those 90s figures is is going to continue for a while. Um, but Not that long ago You could get them, you know, unless it was a rare one for some reason You could get them pretty easy pretty inexpensively. Um, so Uh, so, yeah, um, I don't know what my point was about that but my point is Um, um, I like I I do have a few uh carded 90s figures. I I got a a bin full of them and um I like having them, you know, I It gives me an opportunity to first of all to look at the like you're on the card And I just kind of see how how it was packaged how it was marketed Um, there's no guess work, right? I I don't have to like piece it together from accessories And and everything into kind of guess how it it all went together. I can actually see it on the card That's nice. Uh, it's also, you know dead mint never been touched So that's also nice No paint where at least there shouldn't be I sometimes there can still be paint wear On a figure that's in or that's on the card because those old 90s and 80s and 90s figures You know, they were in the the blister, but there is no like back blister to hold them in place. So, you know They jostle around like this with the paint scraping against the plastic for about 30 years or so Uh, trying to get youtube famous. You know what I'm saying Uh demand for spun fun school has the skyrocketed. That's also correct. Uh, joe fans were dismissing them for a long time. Yeah, um The uh, the fun school Uh issues of gi joe were still You know fresh still new Um at the time that you know retro collecting started to take off So, you know, it was it was a way to get like Um almost a brand new figure Um Of something that would be harder to find, you know If you were looking for the american version So, uh, yeah fun school There are exceptions, of course. There are exceptions, of course But fun school was relatively inexpensive for for a good while But yes now we are starting to see the demand for fun school going up up up so That complicates things for me a little bit Not not the fun school part, but uh, just in general the price of things Going up up up because um, I still got to fill some gaps in the collection I still got to get a few things here like for example just this evening I pointed out that I have all these armor tech figures. I don't have dupe. I've got this, uh This gold plastic syndrome hawk, but I don't have dupe Um, and I thought I did I thought I did have dupe And that's another thing that happens like I really I've been told for years. I should have a database of what I of the of what I have and what I don't have I know I know the reason I didn't keep a database for a long time Is because the collection was growing too fast. I couldn't keep up with it I was really actively and avidly collecting so A glue o-ring a team figures came in large action figure a lot on it from ebay. Yeah, I do have I think I do have all of the Uh, a team o-ring figures. I do have um. Yeah, I don't remember where I have them, but I do have them um Did somebody mention a fun school windmill?

This paper proposes a novel approach to building extraction from very high resolution, VHR, remote sensing images. It combines the advantages of deep learning and guided filtering to achieve better results than existing methods. The authors use a deep residual network to train their model on VHR remote sensing data, then employ a guided filter to further refine the output of the deep learning model. This produces a more accurate segmentation map of buildings in the urban area. Experiments show that the proposed method achieves significantly improved results over other state-of-the-art methods.

I love RPGs and I love golf games, so why not do both, with Mario Golf Advance Tour for the Game Boy Advance. Remember how clunky, slow, and just downright awful some of the Super Nintendo Golf games were? Mario Golf Advance Tour blows them all out of the water. So yeah, this is the best golf game you'll find on the Game Boy Advance by far. The golf physics here are consistent, reliable, and predictable. You can plan your shot and execute it accordingly, whether it's a pitching wedge from 70 yards, a bunker shot buried in a greenside sand trap, or a 250 yard drive with topspin. It's really impressive. There's a traditional 3-click swing system where you control the spin and select the impact on the ball itself, so you can manipulate your shot in a lot of different ways. My only criticism of the actual golf in this game is that the putting is way too easy. If you putt with some mustard behind your shots, almost any putt will go in within about 25 to 30 feet. You barely even have to aim, but whatever. We start with four courses before the story mode has you unlock more. There's the traditional US Open Style course, there's the Tropical course with lots of water hazards, the Desert course with tons of sand traps, and the Western-style course with lots of tall grass and rain. Each course requires different strategies. Some demand you to be as precise as possible and avoid the hazards, others you gotta go for distance. The role-playing elements in this game are well done. This isn't the novelty act, with RPG elements tacked onto a golf game. This is a real story with characters that have things to say and everything. Although, notice none of these characters so far I'm showing are Mario. Hmm. There's an overworld map where you can pick and choose what you want to do and when. No, there aren't random golf battles, although that'd be pretty funny. Anyway, you level up your character by placing well in tournaments, beating other characters in match play, and with some creative mini-game like slot clubs for instance, a game that randomly selects clubs for you for one hole that you have to par. For example, you could be left trying to par a 500-yard par 5 with just a 4-wood, pitching wedge, and a putter. And there's more conventional mini-games as well, like Closest to the Pin and Pudding Contest. When you accumulate experience, you can buff up specific parts of your game, like driving distance or spin control. I do have one major criticism of this game, where the hell is Mario, and all the Mario-ish stuff? If you're looking for tons of wacky courses with all the Mario characters like Mario Golf 64 or Mario Golf Toadstool Tour, you won't find it here. There's only four Mario characters that you start with at the beginning. Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Peach. You have to unlock a lot to even get to one Mario-themed course. To be fair, it's a doozy of a course once you get it, and there's two versions of it, but still, I would have liked to have seen a lot more Mario stuff here. Anyway, if golf isn't your thing and you're more of a tennis person, it should be noted that this is very similar to the Mario Tennis Power Tour game, also for the Game Boy Advance. It's made by the same developer, Camelot. But if you do like golf games, you can't do any better than Mario Golf Advance Tour. It's light on the Mario elements, but it's a surprisingly great golf game.
