Yup. Way too cool to be our Chuck Prime, starting with the fact that he's called Chuck.

Not sure I follow the logic. Here.
This guy exists in our world.
Therefore, this guy is not too awesome to exist in our world.
As far as I'm aware, there is not enough existing data to convert how 'radical' an individual from one world would be in a world lower down on the radical scale.
No, but assuming an proportionate inverse isn't unthinkable, which is what I'm doing. King Radical is the Chuck of the Radical lands, so the +10 point on a -10 to 10 scale of Rads. Logically, then, the -10 inverse of King Radical would be the most un-radical Charles Goodrich we have, the same way our world is the direct inverse of the Radical Lands (since the McNinjaverse is the midpoint between them). And Charles Goodrich the minister and relatively obscure author is far more un-Radical than a NASA scientist, so I find it more likely that he is the anti-Radical Chuck.
Also, he died in 1862. Like the ninjas, all that is radical and cool in our world (or potentially cool) has long since passed. Chuck Goodrich of NASA is not our Chuck, he just happens to share his name by coincidence.

He runs computer simulations all day, and when he's not doing that he's thinking about how to make his simulations better. That's not radical. His association with NASA isn't that he's going up into space and blasting aliens or even doing microgravity experiments, it's that he researches things that are related to space, full stop.Quote:
He is a discipline scientist at NASA Headquarters in the Science Missions Directorate Heliophysics Division focusing on Earth's magnetosphere and upper atmosphere.
Goodrich joined NASA Headquarters in February 2008 from Boston University, where he maintains his appointment as research professor and co-director of model coupling for the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling. In this role, he has developed a system-wide understanding of the challenges in modeling the solar-terrestrial system from the sun's surface to Earth's ionosphere.
Also you are getting your Charles Goodrich's confused. The dead author/minister was from Connecticut, the one from Oregon is still alive and is a gardener and a poet

Okay, that's a lot more boring than it sounded at first, so he's back in the running. He does have mildly radical facial hair, though, so we need more information, like what he does for fun. Golfing as a hobby will win him points, surfing or hang-gliding could lose him a lot of points.
Are we making a Radical Report Card?
More like scoring the Radical Olympics.
Wait, wait, wait. Chuck Goodrich is a future astronaut and chrononaut. Therefore, our Chuck Goodrich is unlikely to have been born yet.
No no, you're all forgetting that, despite the levels of Rad in a particular universe, Chuck Goodrich is still the guy who finds time portals and jumps through them to save the world.
In our reality, however, saving the world only requires tediously mapping Space Weather.
Citizen's arrest! CITIZEN'S ARREEEEEEEEESSST!
...Unless the golfballs are filled with nitroglycerine, how the hell is hitting a little balls with a stick on flat grassy courses more radical a sport that involve running of a ramp and launching yourself from mountaintops and cliffs into the void with but a tiny triangular wing over yourself ?Quote:

For all the times Dr. McNinja is a massive jerk, sometimes he can be rather considerate.
What if that isn't all?
See remember the time portals:
So the dead minister guy is one stuck in the past, but the NASA one is one from our time before going back in the past and being a minister.
It is recursive!
I don't know, Order of the Stick is potentially cool. :smallcool:
Well... it's safe to bet, that the moment NASA discovers a spacetime vortex, we should prepare for a worldwide disaster of some kind and all the paranoics will finally have a chance to say I told you so! Until it happens let's enjoy this boring, uneventful reality.
Unless the downright bogus state of our world is a result of some disaster in the past and our Chuck Goodrich has already went back in time to prevent it and thus created an alternate reality.
I imagine there is going to be a four or five-figure tip involved here to make up for ruining their business earlier.
Also screw the Ninja Turtles, they totally conned the Domino's guy in the first movie. Or was it the second one...
I'd call breaking (all of the very, very few) rules for basic personal safety at a fancy boarding school for elite homo superior or sticking it to the moronic/evil government a little less contemptible than stiffing a guy making less than minimum wage and paying for his own gas.
So, just caught up from last I read in September.
Um, yeah, if not for the random murder that was pretty awesome. LDK does not condone random murder, no matter how much cooler the NPCs get.
NO! NOOOOOO!
We are NOT dropping this argument!
The FUTURE OF MANKIND DEPENDS ON IT!
He's from an alt. universe where dropping this argument results in it being unnoticed by the current owners of TMNT, who make more movies where our heroes in half shells make morally questionable decisions, and humanity prizes them as the paragons of goodness. This eventually causes society to collapse.
Your comment makes me wonder: is there a Chuck Goodrich parallel in the OotS universe? I mean, I know that the world is actually already in legitimate danger, but is there someone who, while being comparatively "normal," has still managed to save the world somehow? Or parallels Chuck in other respects?
I'd personally vote for Shojo, in that he has no class levels but still tries his hardest.
This may be a stupid comparison idea.
