You find me someone who can code assembly for 8 hours a day continuously for two months and I'll hire them on the spot.

There are plenty that do, especially in embedded. I did assembly at Siemens half the day (the other half was C) when I worked for Siemens VDO in 2005-2006. It's not that hard, especially if you do simple stuff, opposed to high algorithms I usually implement these days in higher programming languages.

Is that a serious offer? It's been a couple years but I'm sure with a little practice I could get up to speed again, and (like half the country) I do happen to find myself out of a job right now.

No, I was trying to make a point. Namely, that no one produces that kind of output consistently over time.
I apologize for not taking current economic conditions into consideration with what was clearly a poorly-worded post.

I've had jobs where that level of productivity would have gotten me fired for goldbricking. Gotta love the game industry...
