Ich habe ihn gefragt, ob er mir helfen könnte beim Einstellen des neuen Computers, aber er war schon beschäftigt.

He threatened me, because he was very angry.

Entweder "mich bedroht" oder "mir gedroht", je nachdem, was du sagen willst.

Ich kacke gerne in Aufzügen, es bringt die Scheiße auf eine ganz anderen Höhe.

Germans use way too many English words when they speak in German.

That's fine, although I'd probably say Bonbons rather than Süßigkeiten.

Die Deutscher gebrauchen viel zu viele englische Wörter wenn sie auf Deutsch sprechen.

Die Deutschen (und ich glaube, dass ein Komma vor "wenn" gesetzt werden muss).

"Kümmern" is more like taking care of something. In this case I would say "...wie wenig ich mich für dieses Spiel interessiere".
But according to Duden it's not wrong. However, my suggestion sounds more natural in my opinion. Here you can read more about it: Duden: kümmern (scroll down to "Bedeutungen und Beispiele")

Ich weiß nicht, was ich darauf antworten soll.

I still need to clean my room before the guests arrive.
