    We've got our game faces on, but you can't see them because you're strapped into your Oculus Rift. That's all well and good because we're doing a deep dive into Facebook's recent purchase deal for Oculus VR. The social network laid down $2 billion to buy this nascent, yet popular VR hardware company and the responses are definitely mixed. Additionally, the Eurocast crew discuss HTC's new One (M8) smartphone and surprisingly none of them ended up using "mate" as a stand-in for M8. Both of these hot news stories have lots of little nooks and crannies worth exploring, and that's what you'll get in this edition of the Engadget Eurocast.

    The Eurocast is back after a brief hiatus and this week's festivities are hosted by Matt Brian and Steve Dent. Google's just announced its Android Wear platform and that means a slew of new wearables will be hitting the scene, possibly by the end of this year. Chromecast has also officially touched down in the UK, which means regular consumers can now get Google's low-cost, diminutive dongle and catch up to those early adopters. Not to be left out, Apple's made a more affordable option of its iPhone 5c available, with a discounted 8GB version for European and Chinese markets. All the details on these and other topics are under the microscope for this episode of the Engadget Eurocast. Hosts: Matt Brian, Steve Dent Producer: Jon Turi Hear the Podcast:

    The euro crew is back and Dan's got a new haircut. If you listen closely you can hear the improvement it makes. The freshly groomed Mr. Cooper is joined by Jamie and Sharif to discuss Samsung's arrival on high streets across Europe, Sony's super-slim Vita release and Lenovo's acquisition of Motorola's handset business. Other choice bits from this episode: Sharif considers kickstarting Nintendo's Android gaming division, Jamie's mum has a Wii and according to Dan, Norwich is one of England's biggest cities. All the fun is packed into the streaming links below, so open up your ears, your heart and your wallet (if you're so inclined) and enjoy another brash yet beautiful episode of the Engadget Eurocast.

    The Engadget Eurocast team is obviously delirious on eggnog, as they've chosen to spend a good portion of their Christmas day together nestled in Snuggies and sitting around a warm fire to bring you this special holiday podcast. Your host Daniel Cooper gets things rolling with a specially crafted, year-in-review tech quiz that elicits both insightful chatter and raucous tangents. It's game on for Jamie who aims to win all the quiz points and that's fine with Matt as his Avengers sticker book is all he needs this holiday. Steve will probably just spend the rest of the day on his Xbox One and Dan will be trading his Snuggie for a toolbelt, as he's in for a bit of D.I.Y. It's a warm and inviting chat, and we hope that you'll be able to stop by. Grab your eggnog (it's BYOE) and head on down to the streaming links below for this episode of the Engadget Eurocast!

    How many accents can Dan go through in a single Eurocast? We're not quite sure ourselves, but this time he's channeled his inner superhero. Lacking the same skills, Jamie decides to hijack every topic segue, while James tries to suss out his torn feelings toward the Galaxy Gear. What are you waiting for?

    They might not want to admit it outright, but Dan and Jamie are nearly as elated as Steve over the prospect of that rumored gold iPhone 5S. On the flipside, they all agree that LG getting back into the likes of tablets doesn't stir up too much excitement. This is the Engadget Eurocast for August 24th, 2013 -- recorded in Europe, edited in the US of A. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Jamie Rigg, Steve Dent Producer: Joe Pollicino Hear the Podcast

    An American has invaded the Eurocast! Okay, not really... We asked our amazing NYC-based editor, Joseph Volpe, to grace us with his lovely voice. Topics for this edition include the likely-to-be announced HTC & Facebook phone, Michael Dell's restructuring memo, OUYA (OH, YEAH) and our -- slightly NSFW -- ideas for April Fools' pranks. Right-o, this is the Engadget Eurocast. Hosts: Dan Cooper, Jamie Rigg, Joseph Volpe Producers: James Trew, Joe Pollicino Hear the Podcast
