In my opinion a spoiler in a game is anything that gives you knowledge of events yet to come.
For movies it's anything that occurs 15 minutes after the opening credits (anything before isn't really a spoiler unless it's the single most important plot device ever concieved).
My honest opinion is that your brother needs to take a chill pill, because that's not acceptable behaviour. Now, if you walked in while he was playing a game you had already beaten, and you spoiled the surprise "Big Bad" of the game, then I could see him getting that angry.

Basicaly it's something that spoils a major part of the game. For example telling someone who dies, who is going to betray you at one point, ect. Knowing what the gameplay is, or the overall plot, is not a spoiler. That's why I never mind watching trailers for games. I could probably learn more about a game from the back of the box then I could from watching a trailer. What your brother did was ridiculous.
Something is going to happen in the game? That's... that's just stupid, of course something is going to happen in the game, did you play DA:O Yet? Are you up to the part where.... you... walk around for 40 hours then the game ends??? SICK!
Tell your brother to harden the f up and get upset about actual spoilers, examples of which people have already been posting

Next time your brother does something that stupid do us all a favor and smack him in the face. I kid I kid. Just say something along the lines of "Well what did you expect for the game to suddenly end fifteen minutes from now with no real conclusion? Of course something is going to fucking happen you little retard."
You could spoil something in the first fifteen minutes if you point out a Chekhovs gun.Vilcus said:
I suppose it differs from person to person when it comes to spoilers. I usually don't mind spoilers, while my brother detests spoilers.
However, the degree of spoiling depends on how much you've already figured something out: if the developers of a game has dropped clues about something for the first third of the game, and does the big reveal at the beginning of the last third, while you yourself figured it out during the end of the first half, it's not really a spoiler as much as a "Oh. So that's what they meant with all that", and less than a "Oh. THAT'S what was going on!".
