Japanese History for Gaijins (SPECIAL) : Who put HISTORY in VIDEO GAMES? (The First Mongol Invasion of Japan, and Ghost of Tsushima)

Thomas was busy this week, so instead a surprise returning series.  What story has samurai, gold, headshots, Mongols who can't swim and explosions?  Only the first Mongol Invasion of Japan!  Which was presented to many for the first time in Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima, the ultimate 13th century samurai-them-up.  Your host Jon delves deep into the game and the past to see if he can make sense of either!  Content warning  super nasty war stuff from 23:50-25:00 Would you like to hear us talk about Japan some more?
